Question

Why magnet attract only iron not all matel?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ferromagnetic materials are attracted to magnets because their electrons spin and the resulting “magnetic moments” align easily, and retain that alignment even without an external magnetic field.

Answer 2

Answer:

Magnets don't attract only those metals. Magnetism occurs when a large number of electrons with parallel spins occur within a crystal. The atoms of any element which has electrons with parallel spins behave like amagnet. Magnetic interaction can be observed in substances which are either ferromagnetic or paramagnetic.
