Question

Name one metal which is soft and can be cut with a knife.
Explain why it is stored in kerosene?

Answer 1

Answer:

lithium (Li): Lithium is not stored in kerosene because it is the lightest metal among all metals. It floats on its surface and reacts with air. Instead of kerosene, it is wrapped in paraffin wax and stored. Lithium is a soft metal, so soft that it can be even cut by knife.

Hope this is helpful

Make me brainlist please

Answer 2

Answer:

Sodium is the metal which is soft and can be cut with a knife.

It is stored in kerosene because it is very reactive metal so if it comes in contact of oxygen in air or moisture then it will react vigorously and can also be blast so to prevent this destruction, sodium is kept in kerosene where no air is there.

Actually all alkali metals can be cut with knife

for eg. potassium and lithium
