When we say a magnet attracts something, it means that the magnetic field of the magnet pulls objects made of magnetic material (such as iron or steel) towards it. This attraction is a result of the alignment of magnetic domains in the material being attracted.
The opposite of attract when referring to a magnet is repel.
Sterling silver is not magnetic, as it contains no iron. Therefore, it will not attract a magnet.
No, gold is not magnetic and does not attract magnets. It is a non-magnetic metal, which means it does not have magnetic properties.
In the context of magnets, "attract" refers to the force that pulls two opposite magnetic poles together. This force occurs when the north pole of one magnet is brought close to the south pole of another magnet, causing them to pull towards each other.
If it is a magnet, then it can still attract to a refrigerator. If it is a lump of hot metal or hot ceramic, then only gravity will provide attraction. The curie temperature describes when it goes from being a magnet to being a lump.
The opposite of attract when referring to a magnet is repel.

the south side of one magnet attract to the north side of the other magnet; opposites attract. The molecules get attracted.

Sterling silver is not magnetic, as it contains no iron. Therefore, it will not attract a magnet.
A strong magnet will attract steel due to its ferromagnetic properties, while it will not attract brass as it is not a ferromagnetic material.
Metal?
No
Metal?
anything that contains metal, or the opposite polar attraction for the magnet (i.e. the + will attract to the - and vice versa)
No, aluminum is a non ferrous. Only ferrous metals can be attracted to a magnet.
Yes. The "north pole" of one magnet will attract the "south pole" of another. Opposite charges attract, likecharges repel.
