Alkali metals are one of the most reactive chemical substances which can even react with the surrounding's atmosphere.
That's why we use kerosene for the preservation of these alkali metals.Because alkali metals don't react with the kerosene.
But on the other hand we do not use ethanol for the preservation of alkali metals because ethanol is highly reactive with the alkali metals.
