Gold isn't magnetic because of the electron configuration of the metal doesn't easily allow it to form a magnetic field.
Some metals (notably Iron, Nickel and Cobalt) have the optimum configuration available for natural magnetic fields and therefore make ideal natural magnets.
Some metals can display magnetic properties under certain conditions such as a change in temperature and the flow of electricity. This is the concept behind electromagnets where one can turn a magnet on/off to toggle its magnetic properties.

Can 9carat gold attract a magnet slightly?
No, 9-carat gold should not attract a magnet because gold itself is not a magnetic metal. The presence of other metals in the alloy of 9-carat gold, such as copper and silver, may not have enough magnetic properties to make it noticeably attracted to a magnet.

Is there a Magnet to check if something is real gold?
Not really, pure gold is non-ferrous, meaning that it won't attract a magnet because there is no iron in it. That said, if a magnet sticks to something that you thought was gold, it would prove that it wasn't pure gold, and that it is either fake gold, gold plated, or gold alloyed with iron (if there is such a thing). At the same time, if a magnet doesn't stick to something you think is gold, it doesn't prove that it is gold, because there are many other metals that don't attract magnets either.
