If copper would have been high up in reactivity series would it still have been a useful metal give reason?

No it wouldn't be. Metals high up in the reactivity series, such as the alkali metals, react with water. Copper metal wouldn't stay a metal for long if it reacted vigorously with water (which is the same reason that lithium, potassium, and sodium and not commonly found in their metallic state). Most metals that react with water are found as dissolved ions, and not as solid metals.See the Related Questions to the left for more information about the reactivity series.
