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.

Sodium is very reactive metal and readily catches fire in the air. They cannot be kept in water as they react exothermically in water. Therefore they are stored in kerosene
