Li (Lithium), Na (Sodium), K (potassium). They are highly reactive - they react violently with water and also react with oxygen.

sodium metal is kept under?
Sodium metal is usually kept under paraffin because of its high reactivity.
How do you store alkali metals?
Alkali meatls are stored in oil to stop it from mixing with the moisture in the air.Because Alkali metals are highly flammble in moist air.
How each of the metals in group 1 should be stored?
Group 1 metals are stored under a layer of oil. This prevents them from coming into contact with the oxygen in the air. Thus the violent reaction of group 1 metals and oxygen is prevented and the metals can be stored safely under oil.
Why alkali metals are kept in kerosene?
Why. Alkali. Metals are kept. In kerosene
Which metals are kept in oil and in which is the most reactive?
the metals like Sodium and potassium are extremely reactive. so they are often placed under kerosene oil.

What metal is very reactive and kept under oil?
Any of the alkali metals: lithium, sodium, potassium, etc.
Why sodium is not kept in paraffin wax?
Sodium is very reactive, it can even react with water or air. So for this reason it is only kept in kerosene
What is a metal so reactive it has to be kept under oil?
Potassium, and Ceasium. Maybe Lithium as well. Alkali earth metals anyway.
Why potassium is not found in free state in nature?
Potassium, like all alkali metals (Na, Cs, Li) are much too reactive with water (explosive) and oxygen (self ignition). They are only kept as metal elements when UNDER paraffin oil to exclude H2O and O2.
Why does sodium need to be stored under paraffin?
so that it do not react with the atmosphere
What is rare earth metals?
Those metals which are kept deep inside the earth. They are alkaline in nature.
What is paraffin examination?
paraffin is , you can say that paraffin is candle just extract it's thread and your paraffin is ready to use
