I believe there are five magnetic elements: Iron, Nickel, Cobalt, Chromium, and Neodymium.
Magnetism is a field of study all its own. The scientific terminology used to measure, describe and study magnetism is beyond the scope of this answer. Some elements are said to be "ferromagnetic" and others are said to be "paramagnetic."
Ferromagnetic materials can be used to make permanent magnets. Iron was the first element to be discovered to be magnetic. Some scientists theorize that the earth's core is molten iron, giving the earth a magnetic field.
While some elements are not properly "magnetic" in their own right, they can be used in metal alloys to make permanent magnets. One example is the alnico magnet, composed of a metal alloy of aluminum, nickel, cobalt, copper and a bit of iron.
One element that is "paramagnetic" -- in other words, it cannot be made into a magnet, but is attracted to magnets -- is oxygen. It is always paramagnetic, even in the air we breathe, but the paramagnetism isn't observed well until oxygen is in a liquid form.

Why four magnetic materials are strongly attracted to the magnet?
Four common magnetic materials that are strongly attracted to a magnet are iron, nickel, cobalt, and certain alloys of these metals. This is because these materials have unpaired electrons in their atomic or molecular structure, which creates a magnetic moment. When a magnet is nearby, the magnetic field of the magnet aligns the magnetic moments of these materials, causing them to be strongly attracted to the magnet.
Is pyroxene magnetic?
Yes, but not strongly.
What are the 5 metals that will attract to a magnet?
The only 3 elements that are magnetic are Iron, Nickel and Cobalt. Any other metals containing any of these elements (e.g. Steel contains Iron) will also be magnetic.
Is all steel magnetic?
Most Steel Alloys are magnetic, but stainless steel is non magnetic
Are all metals magnetic and all non-metals non-magnetic?
Not all metals are magnetic; for example, graphite and aluminum. Additionally, a non-metal may be a magnet; for instance, O2, or oxygen gas, is paramagnetic.
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

What are metals that are NOT magnetic?
most metals are magnetic but only 3 metals are purely magnetic these are iron, nickel and cobalt
Are metals all magnetic?
NOT all metals are magnetic
What are examples of metallic objects that are not attracted to magnets?
Generally speaking, only iron and a very few other metals are strongly magnetic, and most other common metals (aluminium, copper, lead, zinc etc) are so very weakly magnetic that, for practical purposes, they can be said to be non-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.
What materials are strongly attracted to a magnet?
The metals iron, cobalt, and a few nonmagnetic elements (copper as a example, is not by nature magnetic; however many such elements can be attracted to magnetic fields with proper tweaking of the magnetic fields) there is a book published by Lindsay publications that explains. it may be out of print but it is worth a shot.
What are metals that are attracted to magnets or made into magnets called?
Unpaired electons (which is to say, electrons not paired with another electron of opposite spin).
The mineral what is strongly magnetic?
Magnetite is the most magnetic mineral.
What are the 3 most common magnetic metals?
Don't now :):):):):):
Is pyroxene magnetic?
Yes, but not strongly.
Are metals magnetic?
They are magnetic only if they have unpaired electrons.
