Both have an ability to lose or attract electrons.
Atoms become magnets when their electrons are aligned in the same direction, creating a magnetic field. This alignment typically occurs in materials with unpaired electrons and results in a magnetic moment in the atom.
Permanent magnets contain magnetic domains, which are regions within the material where the magnetic moments of atoms are aligned in the same direction. This alignment creates a magnetic field that gives the material its magnetism. The most common material used for permanent magnets is a type of iron alloy.
In space, magnets work the same way as they do on Earth. They create a magnetic field that can attract or repel other magnetic objects. This is because magnets have a property called magnetism, which is caused by the alignment of their atoms. In space, the lack of air or other materials does not affect the magnetic field produced by magnets.

A magnet is not "charged" in the same way as a battery or capacitor. Instead, it has magnetic properties because of its alignment of atoms which create a magnetic field. This allows magnets to attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials.
The MRI magnets create a strong magnetic field that aligns the hydrogen atoms in your body. The force of the magnets pulls these aligned atoms, which emit signals used to create detailed images of the inside of your body.
Ferromagnetic materials can become magnets because their atoms have aligned magnetic moments. This alignment occurs when the material is exposed to a magnetic field, causing the atoms to align in the same direction. This creates a strong magnetic field within the material, making it a magnet.
Magnets attract when the opposite poles (north and south) come together, creating a magnetic force. This attraction occurs due to the alignment of magnetic domains within the magnets, resulting in a force that pulls the magnets together.
Not all atoms are magnets because magnetism is primarily determined by the arrangement of electrons within an atom. In most atoms, the electrons are paired and their magnetic moments cancel each other out, resulting in no net magnetic effect. Only certain atoms with unpaired electrons or aligned spins exhibit magnetic properties.
Magnets are able to attract magnetic objects.
No, magnets do not contain glue. Magnets are made of materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt that have their atoms aligned in such a way that they create a magnetic field. Glue is sometimes used to attach magnets to other objects or surfaces.
