I agree with these answeres
Because these metals fastly React in atmosphere and catch fire
Because some metals like sodium when comes in direct contact with air catches fire so if they are kept in kerosene they cannot come in direct contact with air and does not catches fire
Because some metals like sodium and potassium are very highly reactive metals.. They react with oxygen present in air and can catch fire..
