Answer:
Sodium is nit kept in water because sodium is a highly reactive metal and when it's kept in water, it react with oxygen molecules present in water, which is highly corrosive. But when sodium is kept in kerosene, it does not react eventually, so as to prevent accidents, it is kept in kerosene not water
