Iron (Fe) Cobalt (Co) and Nickel (Ni) iron, steel, nickel, and cobalt all have magnetic properties. Lodestone is also magnetic and was used to make early compasses a long time ago because it has magnetic metal elements in it.

∙ 9y agohe magnetic moment of a system measures the strength and the direction of its magnetism. The term itself usually refers to the magnetic dipole moment. Anything that is magnetic, like a bar magnet or a loop of electric current, has a magnetic moment. A magnetic moment is a vector quantity, with a magnitude and a direction. An electron has an electron magnetic dipole moment, generated by the electron's intrinsic spin property, making it an electric charge in motion. There are many different magnetic forms: including paramagnetism, and diamagnetism, ferromagnetism, and anti-ferromagnetism.

Why do transition metals have magnetic properties?
Transition metals have magnetic properties because they have unpaired electrons in their d-orbitals. These unpaired electrons can align their spins in response to an external magnetic field, which leads to the generation of a magnetic field. This property is responsible for the magnetic behavior of transition metals.
Are all ductile metals magnetic?
No, not all ductiles possess true magnetic properties. The main set of "magnetic" elements (not including those with paramagnetic or partial magnetic properties) are: iron, nickel, and cobalt For example, copper is very ductile, but is not magnetic.
What metals cant be picked up by electromagnets?
Many metals cannot be picked up by electromagnets (at room temperature). For instance, aluminum, gold, mercury, and copper will not be attracted to an electromagnet. Iron sticks to an electromagnet at normal temperatures. If iron is too hot, it loses its magnetic abilities. This is true of all metals: if they're cold enough they exhibit magnetic properties, if they're too hot they don't show magnetic properties. Even mercury (liquid at room temperature) can be made magnetic if it's cooled to very low temperatures.
A rock that has magnetic properties is?
Lodestone is a rock that has magnetic properties.
What has properties of metals and non metals?
The metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
The magnetic element used in making metals called?
Iron and Nickel both have magnetic properties.

Name at least three magnetic metals from the periodic table of the elements?
to describe earth's magnetic field, there are three magnetic elements of earth listed as under, 1. angle of declination 2. dip 3. horizontal component of earth's magnetic field
Are metals all magnetic?
NOT all metals are magnetic
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.
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.
What is metallic glass?
Metallic glasses are new type of materials which possess both the properties of metals and glasses .. OR Metallic glasses are the amorphous metallic solids which have high strength, good magnetic properties and better corrosion resistance and will possess both the properties of metals and glasses.
