: [[Sodium]] is a more [[Reactivity|reactive]] [[Alkali Metal|alkali metal]] than [[Lithium]] but less [[Reactivity|reactive]] than [[Potassium]].
: [[Sodium]] is more [[Reactivity|reactive]] than [[Carbon]] on the [[Reactivity Series|reactivity series]] so it must be [[Extraction of Metals|extracted]] from its [[ore]] using [[electrolysis]].
: [[Sodium]] [[Oxidation|oxidises]] quickly in the presence of [[Oxygen]] so it must be stored in [[oil]].
: [[Sodium]] [[Chemical Reaction|reacts]] strongly with [[water]] to produce [[Hydrogen]] [[gas]] and [[Sodium Hydroxide]].
: [[Sodium]] is a [[solid]] at [[STP|room temperature]].
