Sodium and potassium metals are kept in kerosene or in dry mineral oil. ... It protects these metals from being exposed to any moisture in the air that would cause these metals to react, potentially violently.

Answer:
because sodium and potassium are very highly reactive metal and reacts with oxygen....to prevent this , it is kept in kerosene oil as it does not react with Na+ and acts as a barrier.
