Metals like SODIUM and POTASSIUM are highly REACTIVE in nature. So, when left open in air, it reacts so vigorously that it may even catch fire. So, to prevent accidental fires and emergencies, it is kept immersed in KEROSENE oil.

Sodium is a very highly reactive metal that acts vigorously with oxygen, carbon dioxide and moisture which may even catch fire. So, to prevent this explosive reaction Sodium metal is immersed in Kerosene because it do not react with Kerosene. Hope this helps you!.....
