Table Magnetic Properties
Magnetism Magnetic Property Description
Anti-ferromagnetic Phenomenon in some magnetically ordered materials in which there is an anti-parallel alignment of spins in two interpenetrating structures so that there is no overall bulk spontaneous magnetization.
Ferromagnetic Strongly attracted to a magnet. Phenomenon in some magnetically ordered materials in which there is a bulk magnetic moment and the magnetization is large.
Magnetic Noticeably attracted to a magnet.
Magnetic after heating Attracted to a magnet after heating the sample.
Moderately Magnetic Noticeably attracted to a magnet.
Naturally strong Strongly attracted to a magnet.
Naturally weak Weakly attracted to a magnet.
Nonmagnetic Not attracted  to a magnet.
Paramagnetic Weakly attracted to very strong magnetic fields.
Slightly magnetic Weakly attracted to a magnet.
Strongly magnetic Strongly attracted to a magnet.
Weakly magnetic Weakly attracted to a magnet.
Weakly paramagnetic Weakly attracted to very strong magnetic fields.
