Iron, nickel, and cobalt are the three elements ferromagnetic at room temperature. Gadolinium and Dysprosium are ferromagnetic below room temperature. There are other elements that are ferromagnetic at room temperature, but they are extremely rare.
Carbon nanofoam, a pure allotrope of carbon (like diamond, graphite and fullerines, as well as nanotubes) can become magnetic at temperatures below -183 degrees C and are attracted to magnets at other temperatures.
Rare earth elements are also used as magnets, specifically the neodymium-iron-boron (NeFeB) magnets and the samarium-cobalt magnets (SmCo) used in many everyday devices, such as speakers, microphones, computers, and most anything with a small electric motor. These are also used in higher-end magnetic compasses.
The most known magnetic metals are iron, nickel, cobalt and gadolinium.
They are Iron, Cobalt and Nickel
Why then is Gadolinium not included as it is also magnetic?
Iron (Fe), Nickel (Ni) and Cobalt (Co) have strong magnetic properties.
Iron, Fe
Cobalt, Co
Nickel, Ni
Iron, Nickel, and a few others that are weakly magnetic.
Not any element is a magnet; but in a large sense any material has magnetic (including anti-) properties.
Transition metals are located in group 3-12 of the periodic table. The middle of the periodic table.
Non-metals are located on the very right of the Periodic Table. Metals are on the left.
The metalloids split the table these are a diagonal group of elements, B, Si, Ge, As, Sb and Te. To their right are the non metals to the left the metals. There are many more metals than any other type of element. See Wikipedia article "Periodic table (metals and non metals)"
There are more metals than nonmetals on the periodic table. There are 18 nonmetals, compared to 117 known elements.
Most of the elements on the periodic table are metals.
Elements of the periodic table
Transition metals are located in group 3-12 of the periodic table. The middle of the periodic table.
The majority of elements in the Periodic Table are metals.
On the periodic table metals are listed on the left side.
The periodic table comprises of metals (on the left) ,non-metals(on the right ) and transition elements (between metals and non-metals) in the periodic table.
Non-metals are located on the very right of the Periodic Table. Metals are on the left.
The three main metals in a periodic table are transition metals, alkali metals, and alakaline earth metals.
The metalloids split the table these are a diagonal group of elements, B, Si, Ge, As, Sb and Te. To their right are the non metals to the left the metals. There are many more metals than any other type of element. See Wikipedia article "Periodic table (metals and non metals)"
in periodic table metals are present on left and non metals are present on the right ...
Non-metals and metalloids are found to the right on the periodic table.
in the Periodic Table it is the most reactive metals!
All metals known to man are already included in the periodic table.
