The word "magnet" is a name for an object with the physical property of magnetism and is not necessarily chemically descriptive. Elemental iron can be magnetized, but is not necessarily magnetic. Mixtures such as carbon steel and many metallic alloys can also be magnets, as can compounds such as magnetite, which has the chemical formula Fe3O4.
