❤Hey!❤
Sodium is very reactive. It reacts with oxygen so violently that it catches fire and starts burning even if it is kept in the air. Therefore, sodium is stored under kerosene to prevent it's reaction with oxygen or air.

Sodium metal being reactive highly reacts so vigorously with oxygen that it catches fire if kept in open air. therefore, to protect it from accidental fires, sodium is kept immersed in kerosene oil
