Answer:

Sodium is a highly reactive metal and reacts 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 and potassium are highly reactive elements. They can easily catch fire if they come in contact with oxygen. They are stored in kerosene to prevent such reactions.
