Best Answer
  1. Lithium is the lightest metal, but is too soft and chemically reactive to be used for the things most other metals are good for.
  2. Beryllium is the next lightest metal, but is too toxic for use near living things.
  3. Sodium is a relatively light metal, but like lithium is too soft and chemically reactive to be used for the things most other metals are good for.
  4. Magnesium is a light and strong metal that has seen use in aircraft and other lightweight applications, but ignites too easily and is too hard to extinguish for general usage.
  5. Aluminum is the lightest relativity nonreactive metal.
