Answer:

You have asked 2 questions so the answers are below

Explanation:

1. Sodium is kept in kerosene oil because it's highly reactive. it even reacts with the moisture in the air. so to prevent the reaction we store it in in kerosene oil.

2. Graphite is an electrical conductor, hence useful in such applications as arc lamp electrodes. It can conduct electricity due to the vast electron delocalization within the carbon layers (a phenomenon called aromaticity). These valence electrons are free to move, so are able to conduct electricity.
