When you break the magnet then why they repls?

The magnetism of a permanent magnet is caused by the magnetic alignement of individual atoms in the crystal structure of the ferromagnetic material. You can break a magnet into thousands of pieces and each tiny piece is a magnet with north and south poles. Each piece will attract or repel any of the other pieces depending on how they are oriented to one another.

This is FALSE ! Because you only broke it in pieces and tearing or breaking into pieces is a PHYSICAL CHANGE not a chemical change. ---------------------------- I also consider that breaking graphite is only a physical change. - - - - --------------------- It's true, you break chemical bonds when you break pieces of graphite. Graphite is a macromolecule: it is found in sheets, and within the sheets each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms. The only way you could possibly get it apart is to break the bonds between atoms.
