I dont think there is a metal stored under water because they react with water and instead are stored in kerosene or oil. Water often corrodes the metal producing rust so i cant think of any metal that would be stored under water.

Sodium is a non-metal element that is kept under water because it reacts violently with moisture in the air, which can lead to fires or explosions. Placing sodium under water prevents it from coming into contact with air and ensures its safe storage.


Must magnesium metal be also kept under kerosene?

No, magnesium metal does not need to be kept under kerosene. It reacts with water and oxygen in the air to form a layer of oxide on the surface, which can protect it from undergoing further reactions. Magnesium is typically stored in a dry environment to prevent oxidation.

What metal is very reactive and kept under oil?

Any of the alkali metals: lithium, sodium, potassium, etc.


Why is sodium kept under kerosene?

The kerosene molecule does NOT have any oxygen atoms in the molecule; it is an hydrocarbon. Sodium metal will readily react with oxygen, be it in a molecule ( water) or the atmosphere ( atmospheric oxygen in the air). Hence to keep it away from oxygen, it is kept under kerosene. as are all the other Group(1) [alkali] metals.


Is potassium metal preserved under water?

No. Potassium will react violently on contact with water. Potassium is stored under oil to protect it from air and water.


Why is sodium kept in oil?

Sodium is kept immersed in kerosene because it reacts so vigorously that they catch fire when kept in the open. Hence to protect them and to prevent accidental fires, they are kept immersed in kerosene oil.
