Why is sodium preserved in kerosene oil ?

Answer Posted / lucy

Alkali metals react violently with moisture. Kerosine oil,
being hydrophobic, contains no moisture and is therefore a
good storage solution.

Alkali metals are also easily oxidized by air. The oil
prevents oxygen from reacting with the metal.
