Answer:
Flammability and Explosibility
Sodium spontaneously ignites when heated above 115 °C in air that has even modest moisture content, and any sodium vapor generated is even more flammable. Sodium reacts violently on contact with water and often ignites or explodes the hydrogen formed.

Sodium is in the top 5 reactivity series so it’s very reactive to water, and oxygen, so reactive that it has to be stored under a layer of oil to prevent any reactive to take place.
