If kept in the open, exposed to air, it will violently react with oxygen or water to form sodium oxide or sodium hydroxide. To prevent this it is stored under kerosene

Answer 2

Answer:

because sodium is a very reactive metal and reacts so vigorously with oxygen that it catches fire

but sodium doesn't react with kerosene

so to prevent sodium to react with air it is kept in kerosene

which blocks sodium to get in contact with atmosphere
