Only some metals, with a special electron configuration could get magnetic.

The most well known metals, that could get magnetic are Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co) and Nickel (Ni). Also you can find metals in the category of rare earth elements, that could get magnetic.

Neon could not get magnetic for two reasons:

1. It is a nonmetal.

2. It has a stable electron configuration.
