Why are the first group of the periodic table so reactive? They only have one outer electron so there ready to give it away in forming with another element. Alkali metals are very good heat conductors, electric conducters and more.They can explode if exposed to water.
    Cesium and francium are the most reactive elements in the alkali metals group. The alkali metals are softer than most other metals in the periodic table. Hydrogen is not a alkali metal but is in group one.
    Alkali metals are very similiar in lots of ways. They are all shiny, highly reactive and soft metals at standard temperature and pressure. Because there highly reactive they have to be kept under oil in order to not react with the air.

Zoologist 8th period I am writing about the hermit crab.
   There are 1100 species of possess an asymmetrical abdomen which is concealed in an empty gastro pod shell that is carried Round by the hermit crab. It is amount a few species available as pets. In the United States, the two types of hermit crab pets are the :Caribbean and euadorian hermit crabs.
   Sometimes a crab will want to upgrade to a new shell, instigating a shell fight. When they are looking for a new shell they are more concerned about the opening size. If they like it they roll it around to dump out the debris and get in. 
    The life expectancy of hermit crabs is five to 15 yrs., but 25 yrs. is not uncommon living in captivity is up to 40 yrs. There is a coconut crab at about 16 in. Long which is one of the largest in the world. The smallest is a ecuadoran hermit crab which is about half an in.
