Heya ☺
The answer!!


Sodium is kept in kerosene and
Phosphorus is kept in water.

REASON:-
Because sodium is highly reactive metal and it easily and quickly reacts with Water and atmospheric air. Therefore it is kept in kerosene.
Similarly,
Phosphorus is also very reactive that's why it is kept in water to prevent it from undergoing reaction with air.



hope this helps!
