The alkali metals are usually the most flammable (e.g. Lithium, Sodium), which is why they are stored under oil to prevent them from accidentally catching fire. In theory, the most flammable metal is considered to be Francium.

The alkali metals are highly reactive and burn very easily.

Sodium and potassium are kept in kerosene oil so that they don't get oxidized by air.Also, alkaline earth metals like magnesium burn very easily also.
