Why are the halogens not found naturally in the earth's crust as the pure elements?

The halogens are not found naturally in the earth's crust as pure elements because of their extreme reactivity. Because the halogens are close to having completely filled electron shells, they will often react with other substances in order to gain an electron. As an especially noteworthy case, fluorine is the most reactive of the halogens (and elements in general), and will even react with glass. Therefore, the halogens are found naturally as compounds, not pure elements.
