Potassium and Oxygen

Among all the Group 1 elements in the Periodic table,
I hate Potassium the most.
Potassium does not sound nice.
It loves to react with all sorts of elements to achieve stable electron arrangement.
Well,potassium is very unstable and very reactive.
Even when potassium has achieved it stable electron arrangement,
it refuses to stay long with its negative ion,
i t will eventually undergone electrolysis and break down into its component element.
Potassium has very high boiling point and low melting point.
It used to get angry when it is at high boiling point,and loves to remain cool and arrogant when it comes to a low melting point.
Potassium freaks me out!

Nevertheless,it is undeniable that oxygen loves to react with potassium very much.
Oxygen is so willing to accept the electrons which is donated by potassium.
Oxygen accepted potassium's electron and eventually formed a negative ion.
Oxygen has changed its properties.
It is now know as oxide.with a negative sign.
Well,as all of us know,oxygen is so important to mankind.
without oxygen,every single thing in this world will eventually die.
Sometimes,oxygen also supports combustion which I am not so satisfy with it.
I think no matter what happens,oxygen should not be selfish,it has to think before it jumps to a conclusion.Oxygen should think hard before it accepts electrons from potassium.
