Your question is unclear. However mass, not only metal, attracts, it never repels. It is one of the fundamentals of the universe. There is no explanation for it, it is simply a fact.
If you are referring to magnetism then only some substances are affected. Most notably, iron and its alloys. Some other elements are affected but less so.
Ferrous metals, such as: Iron (Fe) Cobalt (Co) and some alloys respond to magnetism. Aluminum responds to electromagnetic eddy currents.
No, only solids.
all magnets attract ferrous metals (metals containing iron) and the opposite poles of another magnet.
No metals can attract a magnet. Only magnets can attract metals. (Believe me there is a difference). However the most common examples of metals which magnets would be able to pick up are Iron and Steel (steel is an alloy of Iron and Carbon)
Usually magnets attract any iron based metals. Magnets usually only attract or repel other magnets
Yes and only certain metal or substances that have those metals in them.
No, not all metals are attracted to magnets. Only certain metals, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, are attracted to magnets due to their magnetic properties. Other metals, like aluminum, copper, and gold, are not attracted to magnets.
No, only ferrous metals are magnetic.
Iron and alloys containing iron.Answer:Iron, nickel and cobalt and their alloys are the common metals that attract magnets. Also, the rare metals gadolinium, neodymium and samarium attract magnets.
Metals except Iron (Fe), Nickel (Ni), Cobalt (Co) and some of their alloys are not attracted by magnets....
Actually, they only attract certain metals. The attraction for other metals is insignificant. For example, a magnet will strongly attract iron. The way this works is that the magnet induces magnetism in the iron. The iron has tiny areas - domains, I think they are called - of magnetism; an external magnetic field will make those domains align, at least partially.
There are magnets in magnets that magnetically attract metal...
