GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Certain metals in their natural states such as aluminium, copper, brass, lead gold, and silver don’t attract magnets due to the fact they are weak metals. However, properties including iron and steel can be added to these metals in order to make them magnetic.

Detailed explanation-2: -Magnets do not attract all metallic objects. They can only attract magnetic materials like iron, cobalt and nickel.

Detailed explanation-3: -Magnetic metals Iron is magnetic, so any metal with iron in it will be attracted to a magnet. Steel contains iron, so a steel paperclip will be attracted to a magnet too. Most other metals, for example aluminium, copper and gold, are NOT magnetic.

Detailed explanation-4: -Magnetic substances are the substances that are attracted by a magnet. A magnet attracts ferromagnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Like magnetic poles repel each other and unlike magnetic poles attract each other.
