Answer:
metals at low reactivity series are good and we can also say that best reducing agents and the work of reducing agents is that they can reduce the other metals and oxidized themselves thats why they form metal oxides with steam and for high reactivity series it is vice versa

Caesium, the most reactive metal in the periodic table, reacts extremely violently – hence why it can't be demonstrated in a classroom! This can be compared to other common metals, such as iron and copper, which produce no reaction when dropped into water.
