Best Answer: pure sodium is stored soaked in kerosine to prevent contact with moisture. contact with air or moisture makes it react violently and it explodes in water. i've tried holding a pea size sodium metal once. it was hot to touch and once we put it in water, it pops or explodes, we were doing a sodium fusion in our organic chemistry experiment back then. our body is full of water. i will not be surprised if it explodes in your mouth because of the saliva in there. read more
