Some say lithium because it comes the first reactivity series... and some say caesium because it has lowest electronegative charge... so what is corrrct.

Out if the two it's caesium.
The further down the table column the MORE reactive the group 1 metals are.

But lithium has electrode potential 3.05v and caesium has 3.02v
