How does pyrite exhibit magnetism and what are the properties associated with this phenomenon?
Pyrite exhibits magnetism due to its iron content. When exposed to a magnetic field, pyrite becomes weakly magnetic. This property is known as paramagnetism. The properties associated with this phenomenon include the ability of pyrite to be attracted to a magnet, albeit with a weak force, and its tendency to align itself with the magnetic field.
How do you know if something is real gold or iron pyrite?
1. If it looks like gold in bright sunlight, it will look shinny and like gold out of direct sunlight. Iron pyrite will not shine unless under direct sunlight.2. If you can put a knife blade on it and it bends, it is probably gold. Iron Pyrite will break.3. A pin will stick in gold, Iron Pryite will break.4. Some Iron Pyrite is magnetic.5. From what I have seen, if I am into Iron Pyrite, the pieces are usually consistant in size.
What is the systematic name of pyrite?
Iron Disulphide : FeS2
How can you extract iron ore from iron pyrite?
It's possible to do so (if you mean extract iron from iron pyrite) , but because pyrite is exothermic, it creates a hazard in mines. Also, it is much more economical to extract iron from other minerals. Pyrite is also geologically unstable, and will eventually turn into sulfurous minerals and actually viable iron ores, so it is best left for future mines. Pyrite is really only worth it for making sulfuric acid or jewelry.
Is fools gold magnetic?
Fool's gold, also known as pyrite, is not magnetic.
Is fool's gold magnetic?
No. Pyrite (also known as fool's gold) is not magnetic.

Is chalcopyrite and hematite and magnetite and pyrite magnetic?
some of our samples of pyrite are paramagnetic
What is the chemical formula of iron pyrite?
The chemical formula of iron pyrite is FeS2.
Is Iron pyrites magnetic?
No. ----------- Well, maybe and maybe not. Not ALL pyrite is magnetic, but some is. That said, Iron Pyrite, or fool's gold, can be tested for by a malleability test. Using a pin, or a pocket knife, try to cut or 'stab' the sample in question. If it bends to the point or blade, it is most-likely gold. If it shatters or breaks, it is most-likely either Iron Pyrite or Mica. In 20-years of hobby-prospecting, the pocket-knife test is the best. That, and visually inspecting in direct sunlight where possible. Gold will have luster in and out of direct sunlight. Iron Pyrite will not display luster out of direct sunlight. Final test for Iron Pyrite is Specific Gravity. Gold is 19.3, while Iron Pyrite is 5 (+/-0.1). With a pan, you can easily differentiate Iron Pyrite from Gold by stratification in a soil sample.
What are the physical properties of Pyrite?
It is a natural magnet that attracts iron.
What elements make iron pyrite?
iron and sulfur Pyrite is iron sulfide, FeS2.
Is there lead in pyrite?
No, Pyrite is iron and sulfur
Is pyrite a mineral or non mineral?
No. Pyrite is a compound composed of iron (a metal) and sulfur (a nonmetal).
Is iron pyrite malleable?
No, iron pyrite, unlike iron, is not malleable at all. It is a hard, inflexible rock.
Does a magnet stick to iron pyrite?
It is ferrous thus the answer is YES
What are the elements in pyrite?
Pyrite is FeS2, an iron sulfide.
