Metals exhibit magnetism when the electrons in their atoms align in the same direction, creating a magnetic field. This alignment can occur naturally or be induced by an external magnetic field.

How does copper exhibit magnetism in its properties?

Copper does not exhibit magnetism in its properties because it is not a ferromagnetic material. This means that copper does not have a strong attraction to magnets and does not retain magnetism when exposed to a magnetic field.


Does silicon have magnetism?

Silicon is a metalloid. Metalloids does not have all the properties of metals. Silicon does not have magnetism.


Which metals are better conductors of magnetism?

Is magnetism a common property of metals?

No. Only a few metals can be made magnetic


What causes an object to exhibit magnetism?

An object exhibits magnetism when its atoms have aligned magnetic fields, creating a magnetic force.


What metals exhibit a similar appearance to silver?

Metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, and platinum exhibit a similar appearance to silver.


Is a magnet matter?

No magnetism is not matter it is a force of energy caused by perpendicularly(sorry for the big word)aligned poles in specific metals. Magnetism is also caused by rapidly churning metals. Short answer: No


What non-metals are attracted to magnets?

Non-metals like oxygen and sulfur are generally not attracted to magnets due to their lack of unpaired electrons that are necessary for magnetism. Only certain metals, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, exhibit magnetic properties.


Are there any metals that attract each other like magnets?

Magnetism is a condition of being, not a type of metal, and metals don't typically attract metals. Anything containing iron can become magnetized. All it takes is exposing it to a magnet or applying a DC current to a coil wrapped around it.


What does magnetism have to do with science?

magnets are used in physics and this shows us that metals are magnetic


Is magnetism a metal or non metal?

Magnetism is a property that can be found in both metals and non-metals. However, metals are more commonly associated with being magnetic due to the presence of unpaired electrons that allow for the formation of magnetic domains. On the other hand, certain non-metals like iron, cobalt, and nickel can also exhibit magnetic properties under certain conditions.


Do all metals respond to magnet?

Magnetism in metals is due to electrons flowing in the same direction, causing a magnetic field. Not all metals produce a magnetic field.
