(m)The table shows the reactivity of five metals with either cold water or steam or with both.

Metal Reactivity

Barium reacts rapidly with cold water

Copper no reaction with steam or cold water

Magnesium reacts very slowly with cold water but reacts with steam
Sodium reacts very rapidly with cold water

Nickel only reacts when powdered and heated strongly in steam

Deduce the order of reactivity of these metals using the information in the table.
