Question

In the lab, You have a highly reactive metal like sodium. It is so reactive that water sets it off. How would you store it?

Answer 1

Sodium is stored under paraffin oil

Step-by-step explanation:

Group 1 metals are known to be very highly reactive. The chemical reactivity of the members of the group decreases down the group.

Sodium reacts violently with water and upon exposure to the atmosphere. As a result of this, it must be stored under paraffin oil.
