YES!!! because toluene is a hydrocarbon, it does not contain oxygen. However, the alkali metals , including lithium, are normally stored under mineral oil .

The alkali metals(Group 1) are all highly reactive to oxygen. So if any substance contains oxygen, then the alkali metal will react. e.g. water. ethanol, ethanoic acid etc.,
