Answer 2

Answer: This is so because they both are very reactive.

Explanation:

Sodium and Potassium are the metals which belong to group 1 of the periodic table. These are known as Alkali metals. These metals have 1 valence electron around them. Thus, they can easily loose this electron.

Reactivity of metal is defined as the tendency to loose electrons.

Thus, these metals are very reactive and even react with the moisture and air. Thus, these two metals have to be kept in kerosene oil to prevent it from catching fire.
