Best Answer

The atoms in a magnet are arranged in some kind of lattice, but the arrangement of the atoms is not what is important. What is important is that the magnetic dipoles of a good portion of the atoms are all "pointing" in the same direction. The aligned atomic magnetic dipoles form groups called magnetic domains, and these are locked in place making the magnet a permanent magnet. It "permanently" holds its magnet field, and is said to be a permanent magnet. And all because the magnetic domains in the ferromagnetic material are largely aligned.

Because a magnet is a solid, i would say thatthe atom structure would be what it is in a solid; arranged in rows. However because it is a magnet, they might be arranged differently due to the elctrons and protons being attacted at either ends of the magnet.

Sorry, hope this helped :)

It depends on the type of magnet, but I think you're looking for the fact that they are aligned in the same direction.

Can a magnet not be magnetic?

if it truly is a magnet, than no. however, you can demagnetize a magnet by dropping it or hitting it really hard to rearrange the domains within the magnet. Domains are the regions within a magnet that have particles that are either arranged so that the poles are attracted to each other or randomly arranged so that the particles are not magnetized at all. so if it is a magnet... it probably will be magnetic unless you take your anger out on it or something.
