Due to the reason that sodium and potassium are highly reactive, they are always kept immersed in kerosene for the prevention from atmospheric air contents

Sodium and Potassium are highly reactive metals and react vigorously with the oxygen, carbon dioxide and moisture present in the air such that it may even cause a fire. To prevent this explosive reaction, Sodium is kept immersed in kerosene because Sodium doesn’t react with kerosene.
