Because they are highly reactive as they react with oxygen and moisture with self ignition (burning flames) even at room temperature.
Sodium is quite reactive with oxygen and the oil prevents it from reacting with the air.
it can b stored in oil
sodium lithium Alkali metals are often stored under oil.
Nope. Sodium reacts violently with water. The pure stuff is normally stored under oil.
Yes, it has to be stored in kerosene oil or it will catch fire.
Sodium metal is kept submerged in light oil distillates so that it doesn't react with the oxygen in the air, as it is a very reactive metal. Pure sodium also reacts violently with water.
because they react to oxygen
when exposed to air or moisture, sodium will catch fire. to prevent that, sodium is stored in kerosene oil
it can b stored in oil
Sodium metal IS stored in petrol, or more commonly is kerosene or oil.
If you buy sodium metal, it's packed in either oil or argon. That's how it's stored.
Sodium is very reactive in water. Thus to prevent it from reacting with air and water, it is stored in oil.
sodium lithium Alkali metals are often stored under oil.
Nope. Sodium reacts violently with water. The pure stuff is normally stored under oil.
as it reacts with the oxygen in the air
No .
so that it do not react with the atmosphere
No because it prevents them from reacting with air
