Answer:
Sodium and Potassium are highly reactive metals and react vigorously with the oxygen, carbon dioxide and moisture present in the air such that it may even cause a fire. To prevent this explosive reaction, Sodium is kept immersed in kerosene because Sodium doesn't react with kerosene.

Answer:
This is because of their highly reactive nature if sodium and potassium are exposed to air they will catch fire and act vigorously and they are also very reactive to water so they cannot even put in water so as a result scientists found that it would not react with kerosene and hence they are stored in kerosene
