450 F
This is the melting point.
A paper clip does not float on ethanol because the surface tension of ethanol is not enough to support the weight of the paper clip. Evelyn Biologist
Magnesium has a higher melting point.
No, picking up a paper clip with a magnet is not a physical change. It is a demonstration of magnetic force and involves no permanent alteration to the paper clip's structure or composition.
A paper clip is neutral or not magnetized and when you bring it to a north or south pole, the opposite little magnets in the clip are attracted to it. If it is kept in contact long enough, the clip will itself become magnitized.
Melting a paper clip is a physical change because it does not alter the chemical composition of the paper clip. The paper clip simply changes from a solid state to a liquid state and can be reversed by cooling it back to a solid.
No, to boil, the material would have to be in a liquid state. Paper is not.
Paper does not melt. Perhaps you mean the autoignition temperature or kindling point of paper? That is 450 degrees F, see related questions below.

The paper clip was not discovered. It was invented.
There are only one property of a paper clip. The property to a paper clip is the testing.
The paper clip inventor is John Vaaler
A metal paper clip will conduct electricity.
No, a paper clip will not float in mineral oil because mineral oil has a higher density than a paper clip. The paper clip will sink in mineral oil.
