The materials that react strongest to magnets are said to be ferromagnetic. According to the Wikipedia article on ferromagnetism, "The common ones are iron, nickel, cobalt and most of their alloys, some compounds of rare earth metals, and a few naturally-occurring minerals such as lodestone."

Is iron oxide used in magnets?

Yes, we can see the use of iron oxide (the Fe2O3 kind, which is iron (III) oxide) used in magnets. There are a number of different things that could be used in a magnet, but simply using this material, often referred to as ferrite, and a little bit of some other materials to make up the ferrite, will allow for the construction of a magnet.


Is two magnets separated kinetic or potential energy?

neither. they separate because of magnetic fields. its not kinetic. its not potential. If you hold them together.. the "push" of them trying to get apart is storing some potential energy.. kind of like a spring. I guess you'd call it elastic potential energy because i dont know if there is such a thing as magnetic potential energy... hmm..


What kind of elements are halides oxides sulfates sulfides carbonates and native elements?

These are types of chemical compounds. Halides contain halogen elements (e.g. chloride, fluoride), oxides contain oxygen, sulfates contain sulfate ions, sulfides contain sulfide ions, carbonates contain carbonate ions, and native elements are pure forms of elements (e.g. gold, silver).
