Why some metals are attracted by magnet while some metals are not attracted by magnets what differences them?

Magnetism occurs only in materials where the electrical charge is unevenly distributed, so that there is more positive charge in one part and more negative charge in another part. I
n most materials, the electrical charge is distributed uniformly, in a perfectly spherical manner; however, when this is not possible, the material is said to have a magnetic "dipole" and, if these dipoles line up in the same direction, then the resulting magnetic field can affect the dipoles in other materials and it is called a "magnet".

How do you know if an object is going to be attracted to a magnet?
Metals and other magnets are the only objects that are attracted to magnets. However, many metals are NOT attracted to magnets. Copper, stainless steel, brass, gold, silver, zinc, and aluminum are a few metals that are NOT attracted to magnets. The best way to discover if the object will be attracted to a magnet is to introduce it to a magnet.
Can a magnet and metal propel?
Magnets are most commonly made out of metal, so yes, two metal magnets can repel. But metals such as iron are attracted to magnets even if the metal itself is not magnetized. Iron is attracted to both poles of a magnet, and it can not be repelled by a magnet.
Is brass attracted to magnets?
No. Brass is not ferromagnetic, as it is an alloy of the metals copper and zinc.
Any metal that is attracted to magnets?
iron,nickel,cobalt,zinc,copper,brass are some examples that can attract metals.
What is ferromagnitism?
ferromagnitisation is the property of certain metals to form permannent magnets. these metals are attracted by magnet, this type of magnitisation is the strongest.
What are 3 metals attracted to magnets?
The 3 metals attracted to magnets are : Iron Nickel & Cobalt
Is a copper bracelet attracted to magnets?
No. Iron-containing metals are attracted to magnets.
Why is a steel attracted to a magnet?
Magnets are just certain minerals that create a strong magnetic field. Everything in the universe, down to our atoms, creates a magnetic field (which is why you can't walk through walls, even though the atoms in you are relatively far apart from one another). Some metals (such as iron) have a magnetic field that is attracted to the field from a magnet. So, the two objects, if given the opportunity, will try to go nearer to each other.
Are all metal objects attracted to a magnet?
=No not all metals are attracted to a magnet for example tin isn't attracted to a magnet. Hopes this helps a bit.=
Is aluminum attracted by a magnet?
Aluminium is not attracted by a magnet, due to the molecular structures that it forms. Metals which can be readily attracted include iron, cobalt, and nickel, although compounds of these will demonstrate significant differences in magnetism.
What are metals that are attracted to magnets?
they are called conductive metals
Metals that are attracted to magnets?
Iron
