Alkali metals such as Sodium are highly reactive because the outer most electron is the only electron in the valence shell which can be easily donated in order to obtain a stable octet.

The valence electrons determine how reactive an element is, and since Sodium and other alkali metals could easily lose an electron, they become very reactive to be stable.
