The difference: Unmagnetized iron atoms, are not coordinated to each
other, while magnetized are coordinated, like this:nsnsnsnsns, etc, in long
parallel lines

Why do magnets only pick up some metals?
It all depends on the material's small magnetic fields called domains. If a group of domains point one way and another group points the a different way, then the material is magnetic. If every single domain is pointing the same way then it is a magnet. If the domains are random then it is a nonmagnetic material. Pure Iron is a material that will easily be lifted up by a magnet. This because of its structure, the bonds between the atoms. The magnet will attract all, due to a "weak" bonding. The atoms in the Iron will simply change charge so that they are attracted to a magnet regardless of North or South on the magnet.. When one mixes in other metals with Iron, say Chrome, the Chrome will cause the Iron atoms to be bonded very tightly to it. This mean that the Iron atoms can not any longer shift charges or turn in any way, and hence due to the "random" structure there will be (or at least can be) equally as many atoms that attracts to the magnet and push the magnet away. Then the material is non-magnetic.
What type of magnet do you need to test for real gold?
You can use neodymium magnet (also known as NdFeB, NIB, or Neo magnet) which is the most widely-used type of rare -earth magnet, is a permanent magnet made from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron to form the Nd2Fe14B tetragonal crystalline structure.
Iron nail electromagnet why is it magnetic?
Iron nail is magnetic because it is made up of the element iron. The structure of an iron atom exhibit a unique magnetic behavior which is called ferromagnetism.
What is the difference between iron and magnet?
Magnet attract things made of iron nickel steel
What is the difference between a magnet and a metal pan?
A metal pan will not attract iron but a magnet does.
How can you tell the difference between a bar of iron a bar of copper and a magnet?
Iron is a ferromagnetic metal, and copper is not. Iron will be attracted to the magnet but the copper will not.
How do you tell the difference between silver and iron?
Use a magnet, iron is magnetic and will stick, while silver won't stick. Silver tends to have more of a shine and will be heavier than iron.
Why does the magnet attract the iron?
the magnet attracts to iron by the magnetic field both the iron and the magnet have
Why does the magnet attract iron objects?
the magnet attracts to iron by the magnetic field both the iron and the magnet have
What is the same between a magnet and an electromagnet?
They both attrack metal and they have iron in them
How would you distinguish between soft iron a piece of copper and a magnet?
The soft iron and magnet will attract each other - the copper will not be attracted to either of the other two.
Is magnetite a magnet?
No, it's a permanent magnet. It consists of an iron oxide, and iron is a permanent magnet.
Does a magnet attract iron?
Yes, a magnet will attract iron. This is because iron is a type of magnetic substance, and the magnet can penetrate it to increase the magnetic field and draw it near it.
What is the structure of the magnet?
"Structure" is an imprecise term. So is "magnet," for that matter. The simplest kind of iron bar magnets have a structure of, well, iron. More complicated rare earth magnets generally have a more complicated crystal structure, but still, there aren't any "moving parts" inside a magnet, it's just whatever it's made of. The structure of an electromagnet is basically "wire wrapped around a metal core of some kind". The core isn't actually required, but all else being equal an electromagnet with a soft iron core is stronger than one with no core.
Is magnetite a temporary magnet?
No, it's a permanent magnet. It consists of an iron oxide, and iron is a permanent magnet.
