Hello!❤️

Answer :

Potassium is a reactive metal.It reacts violently with water at room temperature and catches fire. Hence, it is not stored in water but kept in kerosene oil.

Hope this helps

Answer:

Potassium metal is kept in kerosene or in dry mineral oil.

This metal is stored in kerosene because kerosene contains no water and protects this metal from being exposed to any moisture in the air that would cause these metals to react, potentially violently
