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 is an element that shares the properties of metals and nonmetals?

Are metals all magnetic?
NOT all metals are magnetic
Are all metals magnetic and non metals are non magnetic?
Only actually 3 metals are magnetic, Iron, Nickel, and Cobalt, so not all metals have a magnetic quality
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.
Is nickel magentic or not?
The element nickel is attracted to a magnet.Many "nickel" items contain large amounts of other metals so they're not strongly attracted however. For example, US 5¢ coins are called nickels but they're actually 75% copper.
What are substances such as many common metals called?
Transition element
What are the element in group 3-12 trought 12 called?
