Yes, magnetism is a property of iron. Unfortunately, I cannot explain the physics behind it (yet). However, it has to do with electron pairing and whatnot...there are good sites regarding magnetism that could help you with that.
Iron is a chemical element, represented by the symbol Fe on the periodic table. It is a metal with unique chemical and physical properties, such as its magnetic behavior and ability to react with other elements to form compounds.
Yes, it is. :)
A common chemical property of iron is the ability to react with oxygen to form iron oxide, which is rust.
Iron atoms are inherently magnetic due to the alignment of their electron spins. This property allows iron to be attracted to magnetic fields and exhibit magnetic behavior.

Yes.. it is chemical property of ferrum(iron). It react with oxygen to form rust (ferrus oxide)...
No, magnetization is not a chemical reaction. Magnetic iron and non-magnetic iron are chemically the same substance. Magnetization is a process of alignment of atomic magnetic fields, which is a purely physical change, not a chemical change.
Pyrrhotite is a magnetic mineral that naturally attracts iron due to its magnetic properties. This makes it useful in applications where magnetic properties are desirable, such as in compasses or magnetic storage devices.
Rust is Iron Oxide which has accumlated on top of the iron. The top layer of the iron, when exposed to moisture or water, reacts with the oxygen in the air to form rust. Rust can also form when Iron is exposed to a strong oxidizer or acids. But rust is not a chemical property of iron, it's in fact a completely different compound which used to be iron before reacting with oxygen.
Rusting is a chemical property because it is irreversible. It changes the identity of the substance.
The ability to react with oxygen, which forms rust is a chemical property of iron.
