Why doesn't a magnet attract gold?
Gold isn't magnetic because of the electron configuration of the metal doesn't easily allow it to form a magnetic field. Some metals (notably Iron, Nickel and Cobalt) have the optimum configuration available for natural magnetic fields and therefore make ideal natural magnets. Some metals can display magnetic properties under certain conditions such as a change in temperature and the flow of electricity. This is the concept behind electromagnets where one can turn a magnet on/off to toggle its magnetic properties. For information read the related link.

Can gold attract a magnet?

Is there a Magnet to check if something is real gold?
Not really, pure gold is non-ferrous, meaning that it won't attract a magnet because there is no iron in it. That said, if a magnet sticks to something that you thought was gold, it would prove that it wasn't pure gold, and that it is either fake gold, gold plated, or gold alloyed with iron (if there is such a thing). At the same time, if a magnet doesn't stick to something you think is gold, it doesn't prove that it is gold, because there are many other metals that don't attract magnets either.

Will gold attract a maget?
First of all, a magnet will attract some metals. Metals don't attract magnets. Since gold does not contain iron, it will not be attracted by a magnet. Common metals attracted by a magnet are: Iron, Steel, Nickel chromium, vanadium neodymium tin because all these metals have some iron mix in their contents to be more stable and usable. Common metals not attracted by magnetic fields: Gold, Silver, Platinum Titanium Tungsten Aluminum Copper Bronze Zinc Lead Mercury brass
How expensive are 9ct gold earrings?
Gold earrings in 9carat are fairly cheap. They are cheaper because there is more metal than there is gold in the metal. They run from about $10.00 to $25.00 per pair.
Will a magnetic attract gold?
No, gold is not magnetic. A gold coin that is attracted to a magnet is almost certainly gold plated over an iron or nickel base (though nickel is far less magnetic).
Does real gold stick to magnet?
Gold is actually slightly repelled by a magnet, due to an effect called diamagnetism. Water, carbon, and bismuth are also repelled. Holding a strong magnet next to a thin stream of water shows this. A thin stream of molten gold would show the same effect.
