There are mainly three types of substances.These are Paramagnetic, Diamagnetic and Ferromagnetic.
Paramagnetic substances are weakly attracted by external magnetic field.
Diamagnetic substances are weakly repelled external magnetic field.
Ferromagnetic substances are strongly attracted by external magnetic field.
So, a magnet only sticks to ferromagnetic metals like iron, cobalt and nickel.
Other metals either weakly attract magnets or repel them.

Will a magnet sick to sterling silver?
No, sterling silver is not magnetic, so a magnet will not stick to it. If a magnet does stick to an item labeled as sterling silver, it may indicate the presence of other materials or impurities in the metal.
Can you test gold with a magnet?
Yes though it isn't a completely accurate way to test it. If a magnet will stick to it then it is most likely gold plated, but if the magnet doesn't stick to it that doesn't mean that it is not plated just that the base metal isn't mahnetic.
Will mercury metal stick to magnet?
No. Only ferrous metals are magnetic and are solid at room temperature. In order for a metal to "stick" to a magnet it would have to have its atoms aligned in the same direction. When in liquid form the atoms are too busy moving around to actually align themselves to a magnetic field.
Will magnet stick to silver?
No, magnets do not stick to silver because silver is not a magnetic material. Magnets are attracted to ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt. Silver is a non-magnetic metal.
Will nickel-plated silver stick to a magnet?
Yes but try a Canadian nickel because american nickels a 75% copper
What makes magnets stick too metal?
the magnet it could stick together becaus esomehow the metal attracts the magnet and it makes pulls the metal material and stick to it
Will metal stick to a magnet?
Metal materials containing iron, nickel, or cobalt will stick to a magnet due to their magnetic properties. Other metals like aluminum, copper, and gold are not magnetic and will not stick to a magnet.
Why would a magnet stick to your skin?
Amagnate can stick to certain plates, If there is a plate in your body that magnates can stick to then it has to determine where in the body the plate is. If its near the skin then probably yes, but if its deeper in your body the magnate may not stick
What is a sentence for nonmetal?
when a magnet does'nt stick to another magnet it is called non-metal
What makes a refrigerator a magnet?
The refrigerator isn't actually a magnet, it it simply made of metal which magnets can then stick to.
Can gold stick to a magnet?
Short answer: no. Long answer: it depends.
Why does the magnet stick to the refrigerator?
The magnet sticks to the refrigerator because the metal surface of the refrigerator is ferromagnetic, meaning it can be magnetized. When the magnet comes into contact with the metal, the magnetic domains within the metal align with the magnetic field of the magnet, creating an attraction that causes the magnet to stick.
Will a magnet stick to a 1875 silver dollar?
Silver and copper are not magnetic materials so no American 90% silver coin will stick to a magnet.
Will a magnet sick to sterling silver?
No, sterling silver is not magnetic, so a magnet will not stick to it. If a magnet does stick to an item labeled as sterling silver, it may indicate the presence of other materials or impurities in the metal.
How do fridge magnets work to stick to metal surfaces?
Fridge magnets work by using a magnetic force to stick to metal surfaces. The magnet has two poles, a north pole and a south pole. When the magnet comes into contact with a metal surface, the magnetic field of the magnet interacts with the metal, creating a force that holds the magnet in place. This force is strong enough to keep the magnet attached to the metal surface, allowing it to hold up papers or other lightweight objects.
What are noneFerrous metals?
Put simple a metal that doesn't have iron in it,metal that if u put a magnet to it won't stick.
Does a us silver dollares stick to a magnet?
No, a US silver dollar does not stick to a magnet because silver is not a magnetic metal. United States silver dollars are made primarily of silver, which is a non-magnetic metal, so they will not be attracted to a magnet.
