group 1 metals are stored under oil because they are so reactive, they will react with the oxygen and water in the air if you leave them unprotected, keeping them under oil prevents this from happening, as water and oxygen can't pass through the oil and get to the metal. . .hope this helped pall =].

Are there more metals or nonmetals?
There are more metals than non-metals. This occurs because of the transition metals group. When looking at a group on the periodic table the transition metals makes up a large portion because they are the atoms that take use of the the d orbital for electrons. The d orbital has room for 10 electrons and therefore there is a large number of transition metals per group.

Why is oleoresin used in certain food products and as an industrial oil?
It is used in food products because the body can digest it with enzymes and use it for fuel or store it as fat. It is used as an industrial oil because it does not fall apart when pressure between two metals press against it. Instead, it creates a thin film and lets the metals slide on the film instead of against each other. In other words, two metals sliding against each other do not digest it.

Why it is not recommended to store olive oil in large containers?
I am not aware of any recommendation to not store olive oil in large containers. Olive oil processors store the oil in huge vats, but the oil would be protected from light and heat. Perhaps at home, to delay rancidity, one should store the oil in the refrigerator and have only a small container available at room temperature for use as needed. Light and heat will affect the flavor of the oil.
