sodium and potassium are stored under kerosene.It is kept in kerosene to prevent it from coming in contact with oxygen and moisture. If this happens, it will react with the moisture present in air and form sodium hydroxide and pottasium hydroxide. This is a strongly exothermic reaction, and lot of heat is generated. Sodium and pottasium is an alkali metal and is highly reactive.
