Almost all magnetism is caused by electrons.
Individual electrons have an intrinsic magnetic moment.
In an atom, the electron's angular motion around the nucleus also causes a magnetic moment.
Since all solid materials are composed of atoms and include electrons, the question becomes: why aren't all materials magnetic?
Many atoms only have paired electrons, with the intrinsic magnetic moment of each electron cancelled out by the intrinsic magnetic moment of its paired electron.
Many atoms only have "filled sub-shells", which have zero net angular motion.
Atoms with either unpaired electrons, or unfilled sub-shells, or both, are inherently magnetic. However, in many materials, the magnetic moments of these atoms point in random directions, so they cancel out and the bulk material is nonmagnetic.
It is to do with the pairing of electrons and their dipoles. Basically metals with uneven electrons or half shells are magnetic. Three main metals that are Iron, Cobolt and Nickel. With Iron being the main one.

How are magnetic domains arranged in magnetic material?
They are arranged randomly so ultimate magnetic effect is zero. But in some material they do not cancel and have some +ve or -ve value.

Is a soil magnetic material or a non magnetic material?
it generally depends on the soil content~if it is rich in iron or some other magnetic metals it will magnetize but if it don't it won't..soil is non-magnetic but iron filings in it are magnetic
How are magnetic domains are arranged in a magnetic material?
Magnetic domains in a magnetic material are regions where atomic magnetic moments align in a common direction. These domains can be arranged in various ways, including in a random manner, aligned in specific directions, or in a more organized pattern depending on the material and external magnetic field. The overall magnetic properties of the material depend on the size, orientation, and interactions between these domains.
Why is magnet unable to stick to a stainless steel refrigerator?
If a magnet doesn't stick to a material, that means that the material is non-magnetic. Every individual atom is a magnet, but in a magnetic material, there are groups of atoms (called "magnetic domains") that have their magnetic directions aligned. An outside magnetic field in such materials will align some of the magnetic domains in the direction of the magnetic field.
Why isn't water a magnetic material?
Water is magnetic material but dia magnetic
Are soda cans magnetic?
Most soda cans are not magnetic because they are made of aluminum, which is not a magnetic material. However, some soda cans are made with a layer of steel or other magnetic material, which allows them to stick to magnets.
When a magnet is placed near a magnetic material the magnetic material becomes a magnet . what is the name of this process?
The process by which a magnetic material becomes magnetized when placed near a magnet is called "magnetization." During this process, the magnetic domains within the material align in the direction of the external magnetic field, resulting in the material exhibiting its own magnetic properties. This effect is temporary for most materials, but some can retain magnetization, making them permanent magnets.
When none of the magnetic domains in a material will stay aligned the material is called?
temporarily magnetic
Is silver a magnetic material?
No, it is not. However, when it is at very very low temperatures, it may display some weak magnetic properties.
What is a magnetic material?
A magnetic material is a substance that is capable of producing a magnetic field. These materials are composed of atoms with magnetic properties that align in the presence of a magnetic field, allowing them to attract or repel other materials. Examples of magnetic materials include iron, nickel, and cobalt.
