What general types of material are attracted to magnets?
Various metals. Iron, steel,nickel, cobalt, etc.
What kinds of metal do not stick to magnets?
Lots of metals are not very magnetic (everything, even oxygen gas, is a little magnetic ... though some materials are actually repelled by magnets rather than being attracted to them).Materials that are strongly attracted to magnets are called ferromagnetic materials. As the name suggests, iron is one such metal, but cobalt and nickel are also ferromagnetic, and gadolinium is when cold. Some alloys are ferromagnetic and some aren't, but predicting which is which can be difficult, as materials that aren't themselves strongly magnetic may form an alloy that makes an extremely good magnet.Most elemental metals, other than those listed above, are at best paramagnetic (very weakly attracted to magnets). Copper and aluminium are two common examples (the US coin called a "nickel" is only 25% nickel, with the rest being copper, which is why it's not strongly attracted by magnets).
What are the 4 different types of magnetic materials?
Iron, Nickel, Cobalt and Gadolinium are the 4 metallic elements with strong magnetic properties but their are more materials than can be magnetic. Steel is an iron alloy that is magnetic. Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium and maybe other materials. Not all stainless steel is magnetic. The amount of magnetic material in it (iron, nickel) determines if it is magnetic or not. ALNICO magnets made of Aluminum, Nickel, and Cobalt are very strong permanent magnets. Ceramic magnets are made of a powdered magnetic material mixed with a ceramic material that gives them a softer texture that will not scratch surfaces and they are popular as refrigerator magnets.
When is an object magnetic?
All objects are magnetic. Some are ferromagnetic (strongly attracted to magnets), some are paramagnetic (weakly attracted to magnets), and some are diamagnetic (weakly repelled by magnets).
How do magnets interact with objects made of different materials?
Magnets interact differently with objects based on their magnetic properties. Magnetic materials like iron and steel are attracted to magnets, while non-magnetic materials like wood and plastic are not. Some materials, like copper and aluminum, are weakly repelled by magnets due to their diamagnetic properties.

Why is iron magnetic and other metals like platinum or vanadium not magnetic?
To understand this we need to understand the magnetic properties of material. There are 3:-Ferromagnetic.Paramagnetic.Diamagnetic.Ferromagnetic substances which are easily attracted to magnets. Paramagnetic substances are those which are weakly attracted to magnets. Diamagnetic substances are not attracted to magnets. So Palladium falls in the third category while iron is ferromagnetic.

What are the elements not attracted to magnet?
Materials such as wood, plastic, glass, and paper are not attracted to magnets because they do not have magnetic properties. Additionally, materials like copper, aluminum, and silver are also not attracted to magnets as they are either non-magnetic or very weakly magnetic.

Magnets interact differently with objects based on their magnetic properties. Magnetic materials like iron and steel are attracted to magnets, while non-magnetic materials like wood and plastic are not. Some materials, like copper and aluminum, are weakly repelled by magnets due to their diamagnetic properties.
Is water attracted to magnets?
No, Water is diamagnetic. It is weakly repelled by a magnetic field (magnet).
Does aluminum attract to magnetism?
Yes, but not very. Aluminium is paramagnetic, meaning it is very weakly attracted to a magnet. (Materials like iron that are strongly attracted to magnets are called ferromagnetic.)The attraction between aluminium and a magnetic field is small enough that sensitive instrumentation is required to detect it. For all practical purposes, unless you're a scientist aluminium can be considered non-magnetic.
Is blood attracted to a magnet?
Not enough to matter in any practical sense. Hemoglobin, the oxygen-binding protein in blood, is very weakly attracted to magnets (and oxyhemoglobin, the same protein when oxygen is bound to it, is very very weakly repelled by magnets).
Does a magnet attrack to copper?
No, they won't. Copper, while it is a good conductor of electricity, is not a ferromagnetic material, and a magnet won't be magnetically attracted to it. (They will stick to anything if you use enough glue!)
Magnets repel what elements?
A good periodic table will have a symbol telling you which elements are ferromagnetic (strongly attracted by magnets), paramagnetic (weakly attracted by magnets), or diamagnetic (weakly repelled by magnets). Pyrolytic carbon is fairly strongly diamagnetic, as is bismuth. A lot of other elements (including mercury, silver, lead and copper) are diamagnetic to a lesser degree. I've linked to a table showing which are which for many (but not all) elements.
