Sodium and potassium both are highly reactive elements.
Kerosene protects the metals from coming in contact with moisture.
Hence, Sodium and Potassium are stored in kerosene because they react vigorously with oxygen and moisture due to their high reactivity so keeping it in kerosene will prevent them from coming in contact with oxygen and moisture.
