No. Rubber is (partly) a distillation of the tree-sap from rubber-trees, which obviously does not mean that it couldn't be magnetic. Magnetism is usually found in metals, not organic compounds like tree-sap. The molecular disorder in compounds like rubber make them difficult to magnetize, whereas metals like iron, some steels, and certain rare-earth alloys are eager to align their constituent atoms with magnetic fields (thereby becoming magnetic themselves). It's important to note that this resistance to magnetization by compounds like rubber is closely associated with their poor electrical conductivity. This is why electric-utility workers wear rubber boots.

Can a magnet repel a paperclip?

Yes, a magnet can repel a paperclip if the paperclip is made of a material that is not attracted to the magnet, like aluminum. The magnet's magnetic field will interact with the paperclip's electrons, causing it to repel.
