No. Zinc is not paramagnetic. The electron configuration of Zn(0), or zinc metal, is [Ar] 3d10 4s2. All electrons are paired, and therefore Zn(0) is diamagnetic. The most common ionized form of zinc, Zn(2+) is also diamagnetic. The electron configuration of Zn(2+) is [Ar] 3d10. All electrons are paired, and therefore the Zn(2+) cation is diamagnetic.

∙ 13y agoMetals are mistaken that they are magnetic. Since most metals (as in products) in the world are alloys (mixture), they frequently contain iron(Fe). The only element that is attracted to magnets is iron. Hence, zinc (assuming not mixed with anything else) is not attracted to magnets.

∙ 9y agoZinc is not an magnetic metal element. Zinc is classed as a diamagnetic element. Diamagnetic means that it weakly repels magnetic fields, so it is not magnetic.

What is an example of a non-magnetic metal?
Some non-magnetic metals: aluminium, copper, lead, tin, titanium, zinc, brass, bronze, gold, and silver
Is radium magnetic?
Radium is a nonmagnetic metal.
Are springs magnetic?
It depends entirely on the material of which a spring is made. Some stainless steels are nonmagnetic. If springs are made from any of these steels then they will not be magnetic.
Does magnet attracts zinc?
no...only magnetic materials can be used as electromagnet...zinc is not a magnetic material
Are rocks non magnetic?
MOST rocks are nonmagnetic. Rocks with a very high iron content will be magnetic. One type of rock, known as lodestone, IS a magnet.

Polonium is a nonmagnetic element.
What are two general classes of memory devices?
Magnetic and nonmagnetic.
How are magnetic and nonmagnetic objects sorted at a recycling center?
Qwerty
How do you separate magnetic and nonmagnetic particles?
A non-magnetized piece of iron would capture the magnetic particles.
Is caesium chloride magnetic or nonmagnetic?
Caesium chloride has a magnetic susceptibility of - 56,7.10-6 cm3/mol and isn't considered magnetic..
Are nonmetals magnetic?
all non metals are nonmagnetic not all non metals are non magnetic, there is a certain nonmetal that is magnetic but i am not really sure what is it.
