Best Answer

The alkali metals, group 1 of the Periodic Table, react more and more with O2 as you descend the group. From Na down to Cs, the metals are stored in oil so that they don't form an oxide layer. If you watch videos on YouTube about these metals, you'll see the oxide layer actually form before your eyes.
