What else can I help you with?
Zaire is the world's major source of the magnetic element used in making metals called?
cobalt
Metals in jewelry that is not magnetic?
Gold, platinum, and silver are common examples of metals used in jewelry that are not magnetic. These metals are non-ferrous, meaning they do not contain iron, which is the element that makes metals magnetic.
What are element groups 1 and 7 called?
Element group 1 is called the alkali metals, while element group 7 is called the halogens.
Are all metals magnetic and non metals are non magnetic?
Not all metals are magnetic; while some metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt are magnetic, others like aluminum and copper are not. Similarly, some nonmetals like oxygen and hydrogen are diamagnetic (very weakly repelled by magnetic fields), while others like carbon and sulfur are diamagnetic as well. Therefore, the magnetic properties of an element do not depend solely on whether it is a metal or nonmetal.
Is the element neon magnetic or not?
Only some metals, with a special electron configuration could get magnetic. The most well known metals, that could get magnetic are Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co) and Nickel (Ni). Also you can find metals in the category of rare earth elements, that could get magnetic. Neon could not get magnetic for two reasons: 1. It is a nonmetal. 2. It has a stable electron configuration.
What are metals that are attracted to magnets?
Some metals that are attracted to magnets include iron, nickel, and cobalt. These metals have magnetic properties because their atoms have unpaired electrons that align in the presence of a magnetic field, creating a magnetic moment.
What is an element that shares the properties of metals and nonmetals?
An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.
Are metals all magnetic?
NOT all metals are magnetic
How do scrap yards separate metals from non magnetic metals?
They use electromagnets to separate magnetic metals from non-magnetic metals/materials in scrapyards.
Does copper stick to magnet?
no. many metals don't stick to magnets. it is really only a few metals, mostly iron (Ferrous metals) that have magnetic properties. Steel is not an element like Iron (Fe), but it is magnetic because it is a mix of different elements that contain Iron.
What are substances such as many common metals called?
Transition element
What are the element in group 3-12 trought 12 called?
They are called the Transition Metals.
