why is lithium not stored in kerozene?

Question

Please give me the answers immediately

Answer 1

Who said so ??

Any alkali metal can be stored in kerosene...provided for lithium its compressed enough to increase density so that it doesn,t float ( since its the lightest metal )or its coated with some heavy material and then stored.

Lithium has only about half the specific gravity of water, giving solid metal lithium sticks the odd heft of a very light wood, such as balsa. The metal floats highly in hydrocarbons due to its low density, and jars of lithium in the laboratory are typically composed of black-coated sticks held down in hydrocarbon mechanically by the lid of the jar and other sticks.

Answer 2

its too light.
it floats on it
