Because the intrinsic magnetic field generated by the spin of the electrons around the nucleus is negligible...
Magnetic domains have the tendency to align with magnetic fields. The Earth's magnetic field is relatively weak, but I would expect SOME alignment.
no mars magnetic field is not strong because it is far away from the sun than earth.
Mercury :) hope I helped!!
You need to strike the hot nail with a hammer to induce the magnetic field. This was a method that blacksmiths used to make weak iron magnets.
The dynamo. For terrestrial planets, the dynamo is a molten core of nickel-iron. Mercury and Earth have fairly strong dynamos and therefore fairly strong magnetic fields. Venus and Mars do not, and have only weak magnetic fields.
Yes most materials have weak magnetic properties
If two materials have a weak magnetic domain then their lines of force will be sketched as farther apart. This is the convention for drawings of magnetic fields.
A magnetic domain refers to a region within a magnetic material that has uniform magnetization. Two materials with a weak magnetic domain are bismuth and pyrolytic carbon.
No, it is not. However, when it is at very very low temperatures, it may display some weak magnetic properties.
For the same reason that copper pipes and aluminum foil are not magnetic - silver is not a ferrous metal and has only very weak magnetic properties.
Diamagnetic metals have a very weak and negative susceptibility to magnetic fields. Diamagnetic materials are slightly repelled by a magnetic field and the material does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed. Diamagnetic materials are solids with all paired electron resulting in no permanent net magnetic moment per atom. Diamagnetic properties arise from the realignment of the electron orbits under the influence of an external magnetic field. Most elements in the periodic table, including copper, silver, and gold, are diamagnetic. Paramagnetic metals have a small and positive susceptibility to magnetic fields. These materials are slightly attracted by a magnetic field and the material does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed. Paramagnetic properties are due to the presence of some unpaired electrons, and from the realignment of the electron orbits caused by the external magnetic field. Paramagnetic materials include magnesium, molybdenum, lithium, and tantalum. Ferromagnetic materials have a large and positive susceptibility to an external magnetic field. They exhibit a strong attraction to magnetic fields and are able to retain their magnetic properties after the external field has been removed. Ferromagnetic materials have some unpaired electrons so their atoms have a net magnetic moment. They get their strong magnetic properties due to the presence of magnetic domains. In these domains, large numbers of atom's moments (1012 to 1015) are aligned parallel so that the magnetic force within the domain is strong. When a ferromagnetic material is in the unmagnitized state, the domains are nearly randomly organized and the net magnetic field for the part as a whole is zero. When a magnetizing force is applied, the domains become aligned to produce a strong magnetic field within the part. Iron, nickel, and cobalt are examples of ferromagnetic materials. Components with these materials are commonly inspected using the magnetic particle method.

The main ferromagnetic metals are iron, nickel, and cobalt. The uncommon element gadolinium is magnetic. These form alloys that are also magnetic, such as steel. The rare-earth elements neodymiumand samarium can also form magnetic alloys, and neodymium magnets are among the most powerful of permanent magnets.*The element titanium is not ferromagnetic. It is paramagnetic, in that it interacts weakly with a magnetic field. Copper ions in solution also demonstrate paramagnetism.*The elements silver, mercury, and gold can display diamagnetism, being slightly repelled by a strong magnetic field. Compounds of these elements can display very weak magnetic interactions. They will not display magnetic properties, but become increasingly affected at very low temperatures.

As strange as it seems, gold is not magnetic, the three only magnetic metals are iron, nickel, and cobalt.More Information:Yes, gold is a magnetic material, but a very weak one. All materials exhibit magnetic properties, but the magnetic properties of most material's are extremely weak. Gold is one of these. Nickel, Cobalt, and both forms of iron exhibit relatively strong magnetic properties. These are the metals that are commonly thought of as magnetic, or ferromagnetic, especially iron and most of its alloys.
Because of a property called spin, electrons act like tiny magnets. Most of the time paired electrons contain opposite spins, meaning the material has a weak magnetic field. The more paired electrons a material has, the weaker the magnetic field in the material. Unpaired electrons attract and repel other material. This determines which materials unpaired electrons match up with and attract to form a magnetic domain.
No, a magnet does NOT have the ability to attract materials that are NON-magnetic (unless it has something magnetic on it, or has magnetic material in it). Duhhh!!! I'm in seventh grade and even I know that!!! ; )
