Steel wool is generally not attracted to magnets because it is made primarily of steel, which is a ferromagnetic material. However, its attraction to magnets can vary depending on the composition of the steel and the presence of other materials. If the steel wool is made from pure iron or contains a significant amount of ferromagnetic elements, it may exhibit some magnetic properties. But typically, the fine strands of steel wool do not show a strong attraction to magnets.
When iron wool is placed in a Bunsen burner flame, it undergoes a chemical reaction called oxidation. The iron in the wool combines with oxygen from the air to form iron oxide, which produces sparks and a glowing effect.
