Iron is magnetic, so using a magnet with show if something is made of iron. Iron also rust like steel(which is part iron) so that can be an easy indicator of if it might be an iron alloy.

Magnetism can sometimes be in an iron object by rubbing it with a magnet?

Yes, this process is known as magnetization. When an iron object is rubbed with a magnet, the domains within the iron align in the direction of the magnetic field created by the magnet, causing the iron object to become magnetized.

They are all metals and can conduct electricity and heat. Iron is magnetic, while silver, ruby, and brass are not.


What happens to electrons in an iron object when the object is magnetized?

When an iron object is magnetized, the electrons in the iron align their magnetic moments in the same direction, creating a magnetic field within the object. This alignment of magnetic moments enhances the overall magnetic properties of the iron object, making it magnetic as well.


How do molecules know not to mix together from two different objects?

When an object rusts it gains mass.From where does the extra mass come?

When an object rusts, the iron in the object combines with oxygen in the air to form iron oxide (rust), which has a greater mass than the original iron. The extra mass comes from the oxygen molecules in the air that combine with the iron to form rust.


Why some iron object magnetic and other not magnetic?

If the iron atoms are aligned then the object is magnetic, if they are randomly oriented then it is not. How the object was manufactured may be the cause of the difference, but it always possible to intentionally either magnetize OR demagnetize an object.
