Gadolinium has exceptionally high absorption of neutrons and therefore is used for shielding in neutron radiography and in nuclear reactors. Because of its paramagnetic properties, solutions of organic gadolinium complexes and gadolinium compounds are the most popular intravenous MRI contrast agents in medical magnetic resonance imaging.

What is the mass number of Gd?
'Gd' is Gadolinium. Atomic No. is 64 Atomic Mass is 157.25 The most abundant stable isotope. It is a Lanthanide metallic element. It has 6 stable isotopes, this means that each isotope will have a different atomic mass. It has three oxidation states ,+1, + 2 , +3. Oxid'n state '3' being the most stable. Do not confuse the elemental symbol 'Gd' for gold. Gold has the elemental symbol 'Au' (Aurum ; from Latin). Gadolinium is named after the mineral ' Gadolinite' , which itself is named after Johan Gadolin, who was a Finnish/Swedish chemist involved in research of Rare Earth elements.
Should pure nickel attract a magnet?
Yes, pure nickel is one of the few metals that's ferromagnetic; i.e. it's attracted to a magnet and can itself be magnetized. Iron and cobalt are the only other two common ferromagnetic metals. Gadolinium, neodymium and samarium are the remaining metals.
What causes magnetism in a magnet?
Magnetism is caused when all the atoms of a metal like lodestone, iron, cobalt, nickel, or gadolinium are lined up in one direction. If this happens during the cooling process, after being melted, it will result in a permanent magnet
