It is because of the atom aize .
Rb atom is bigger than Na. Everybody know electrons are running around the atom.
The atom size is more big, the gravitation is more small. So, the electrons of Na is gravitation to Na atomic nucleus stronger than Rb. So, the electrons of Rb can run out of Rb gravitation. So, Rb is more active than Na.
1. as the net +ve charges to the outermost e- of both Rb and Na are the same, so the attactive force to outermost e- depends on the radius of the atom of elemnets. Rb has a greater radius then Na, the attractive force to the outermost e- in Rb is smaller to the Na. Outermost e- of Rb is more ready to lose and react, so the reactivity of Rb is higher the Na.
2. same principle of 1.But you should not use "rapidly".... i think more ready is better
