Is the element sodium explosive radioactive or noxious?

Sodium is not explosive per se, but it will oxidize vigorously if it touches water. And it will react even more powerfully with acid. Sodium is not radioactive either. It has some radioactive isotopes, but these are not found naturally. Lastly it is not noxious in that it does not emit noxious fumes. But it would not be a good idea to ingest it in its pure form.
