Lithium is one of the highly reactive metals and they are not created naturally (does not occur naturally).

Lithium itself is a highly volatile metal and Kerosene is too volatile liquid. If stored can float on Kerosene and get exposed to air may cause a explosion. This is the reason why it is stored in paraffin wax.

Vocabs:

1) kerosene: sometimes known as paraffin oil, is a combustible liquid obtained by distilling petroleum at a high temperature.

2) paraffin wax: it is a white or colorless soft solid that is derived from petroleum and consists of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules containing between twenty and forty carbon atoms. It is solid at room temperature and begins to melt above approximately 37 °C (99 °F);its boiling point is >370 deg C.Common application for paraffin wax are lubrication, electrical insulation, and candles.
