QUESTION
WHY SODIUM IS KEPT IMMERSED IN KEROSENE OIL?
CHAPTER:: METALS AND NON METALS
CLASS :: 10TH
SODIUM ( Na) and POTASSIUM (K) also are always kept immersed in KEROSENE OIL because these both metals are highly reactive. If kept in open, they react vigorously. Which may cause an accidental fire. So they are kept immersed in KEROSENE OIL to eradicate any such circumstances.
