being slitely magnetic but not quite
Yes, steel is a ferromagnetic material.
a ferromagnetic is of or relating to substances with an abnormally high magnet permeability, a definite saturation point, and appreciable residal magnetism and hysteresis.
Curie point is the temperature above which a ferromagnetic substance behaves as a paramagnetic substance.

No. Gold is diamagnetic. The only ferromagnetic metals at room temperature are iron, cobalt and nickel
Because most refrigerators are made of ferromagnetic materials, and ferromagnetic materials are attracted to magnets.
Definitions of ferromagnetic on the Web: * relating to or demonstrating ferromagnetismwordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn * Ferromagnetism is the "normal" form of magnetism, with which most people are familiar, as exhibited in horseshoe magnets and refrigerator magnets.
