When iron is magnetized, the electrons in the iron atoms align their spins in the same direction, resulting in the formation of magnetic domains. This alignment occurs because the magnetic moments of the electrons, primarily from their spins and orbital movements, interact with each other. As more domains align, the overall magnetic field of the material increases, making the iron exhibit strong magnetic properties. The process can be influenced by external magnetic fields, temperature, and the material's crystalline structure.
What else can I help you with?
What happens if you bring two iron nails close to each other?
Unless one or both iron nails are magnetized, then nothing will happen. If one nail is magnetized, then the other nail will be attracted to the magnetized nail.
What happens to the electrons when an object is magnetized?
When an object is magnetized, the alignment of the electrons within the atoms of the material becomes coordinated, creating a magnetic field. This alignment allows the material to exhibit magnetic properties such as attracting or repelling other objects.
Which metals can be magnetized?
IRON OXIDE
What materials can be magnetized and why?
Materials that can be magnetized are usually those that contain magnetic elements like iron, nickel, and cobalt. This is because the atoms in these materials have unpaired electrons that align in a consistent direction to create a magnetic field. Other materials, like steel and some alloys, can also be magnetized due to their composition and atomic structure.
Why is iron magnetic and nickel or copper is not?
Iron is magnetic because it has unpaired electrons in its outer shell that align in the presence of a magnetic field. Nickel and copper do not have as many unpaired electrons in their outer shell, making them non-magnetic under normal conditions.
What happens to electrons in an iron object when the object is magnetized?
When an iron object is magnetized, the electrons in the iron align their magnetic moments in the same direction, creating a magnetic field within the object. This alignment of magnetic moments enhances the overall magnetic properties of the iron object, making it magnetic as well.
What happens if you bring two iron nails close to each other?
Unless one or both iron nails are magnetized, then nothing will happen. If one nail is magnetized, then the other nail will be attracted to the magnetized nail.
What happens if you bring two iron nails close to( or touching)each other?
Unless one or both iron nails are magnetized, then nothing will happen. If one nail is magnetized, then the other nail will be attracted to the magnetized nail.
What happens if you bring two iron nails close to(or touching) each other?
Unless one or both iron nails are magnetized, then nothing will happen. If one nail is magnetized, then the other nail will be attracted to the magnetized nail.
Can silver be magnetized?
No. Only a hand-full of metals can be magnetized, for example iron, nickel and cobalt.
What happens if you bring two iron nails close to or touching each other?
Like poles will repel.Unlike poles will attract.

What are some example of iron?
Pure iron that has not been bonded with other substances such as aluminum or silicon. The presence of these substances keeps the magnetic dipoles (electrons, each of which acts like a tiny magnet due to its spin) aligned once magnetized and therefore the material remains magnetized. This does not occur in pure iron.
Will iron stick to the south or north of a magnet?
It will stick to either pole, providede that the iron is not magnetized and that it is not above the Curie temperature (the temperature above which iron can no longer be magnetized, named after Marie and Pierre Curie).
Strongest element that can be magnetized?
