Because phosphorus is very reactive non metal. It catches fire if exposed to air. To prevent the contact of phosphorus with atmospheric oxygen,it is stored in water. Whereas,sodium is very reactive. It reacts vigorously with oxygen and water. A lot of heat is generated in the reaction. It is, therefore,stored in kerosene
Sodium
Sodium metal IS stored in petrol, or more commonly is kerosene or oil.
Sodium react vigorously with air, to prevents it's harmfulness it is to be stored under kerosene.
as it reacts with the oxygen in the air
Sodium is extremely reactive. It oxidizes rapidly in air and reacts violently with water. The kerosene prevents the sodium from coming in contact with air, water, or other substances that might oxidize it.
Sodium
because its stupid
Sodium metal IS stored in petrol, or more commonly is kerosene or oil.
Sodium react vigorously with air, to prevents it's harmfulness it is to be stored under kerosene.
when exposed to air or moisture, sodium will catch fire. to prevent that, sodium is stored in kerosene oil
as it reacts with the oxygen in the air
Sodium is extremely reactive. It oxidizes rapidly in air and reacts violently with water. The kerosene prevents the sodium from coming in contact with air, water, or other substances that might oxidize it.
Sodium metal reacts violently with water, and is stored in kerosine (for example) to avoid contact with moisture in the air.
Yes, it has to be stored in kerosene oil or it will catch fire.
The kerosene prevents the sodium from coming in contact with water and air. Sodium is very reactive. If it touches air it will oxidize, ruining the sample. If it touches water it will burst into flames.
The kerosene prevents the sodium from coming in contact with air or water. If sodium touches air it will oxidize and ruin the sample. If it touches water it can catch fire and even explode.
bcoz sodium is a alkali metal these metals when xposed to air they tarnish rapidly due to the formation of oxides on surface Save
