Are there magnetic non-metals?

Oxygen, for one. In its gaseous state it moves too fast to be affected, but liquid oxygen can be trapped between the poles of a magnet: enter link description here http://www.chem1.com/acad/webtext/chembond/CB-images/liquidoxygeninmagnet.jpg. Materials can be broadly classified into three sets:. read more

There are a few; oxygen is one. It is paramagnetic: it is slightly attracted to a magnet, but is not permanently magnetizable. read more

There are no ferromagnetic non-metallic elements or compounds. All materials are diamagnetic to some extent. Only a couple of non-metallic elements are noticeably paramagnetic. read more

Non-magnetic metals, or non-ferrous metals, are metals that do not have an appreciable amount of iron in their composition. These metals can be pure metals or combinations of metals, such as gold, aluminum, beryllium, led, magnesium, nickel, platinum, zinc and copper. read more
