Potassium metal is stored under kerosene because potassium is a highly reactive metal. So, it is stored under kerosene which does not allow any reaction. In summary, this metal is stored in kerosene because kerosene contains no water and protects these metals from being exposed to any moisture in the air that would cause this metal to react, potentially violently.
