Is water a superconductor?
Water is not a superconductor.
Is Mercury often used in magnets?
Mercury is not a magnetic matertial. Notes indicate that it is weakly diamagnetic, i.e. it is repulsed by magnetic fields. So some mercury alloys would also be weakly diamagnetic. Notes indicate that at very low temperatures (4K), mercury becomes a superconductor and it becomes a much stronger diamagnet (repelled). Apparently this magnetizes the mercury at this low temperature. See links.
A superconductor performs best at what?
Low temperature. A superconductor doesn't 'perform' at all, and isn't even a superconductor, above its critical temperature.
An atom that is only weakly affected by a magnetic field?
Diamagnetic
A superconductor performs best at?
A superconductor superconducts ONLY at extremely low temperature.
A piece of material that moves an electric current really well at low temperatures and also repels magnets is called?
Either a superconductor (cold), or a diamagnetic metal (doesn't have to be cold, but a pretty weak repeller).
Is Be2- paramagnetic or diamagnetic?
It is paramagnetic because it has unpaired electrons.
Is water a superconductor?
Water is not a superconductor.
Is sulfur paramagnetic or diamagnetic?
diamagnetic
Is silicon diamagnetic?
yes, silicon is diamagnetic
Is Be2 4- paramagnetic or diamagnetic?
Diamagnetic

Would baryllium be attracted to a magnet?
No, because it is diamagnetic.
When was American Superconductor created?
American Superconductor was created in 1987.
Is salt water a superconductor?
No. Salt water is a conductor but not a superconductor.
A superconductor performs best at what?
Low temperature. A superconductor doesn't 'perform' at all, and isn't even a superconductor, above its critical temperature.
SO3 2- is diamagnetic or paramagnetic?
Diamagnetic. All of the electrons are paired.
