The first magnets were made out of a naturally occurring mineral called lodestone. Lodestone is a form of the mineral magnetite and was used by ancient civilizations for its magnetic properties.
Ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt are attracted to magnets due to their alignment of magnetic domains in the presence of a magnetic field. Other materials such as steel and some alloys can also be attracted to magnets to varying degrees.
The ancient Greeks, particularly Thales of Miletus, were some of the earliest to study magnets around 600 BC. They observed that a naturally occurring mineral called magnetite (lodestone) had the property of attracting iron.
Magnets are named after the region of Magnesia in ancient Greece. This area was known for deposits of a mineral called magnetite, which exhibits magnetic properties.
You can find magnets at most hardware stores, craft stores, or online retailers. Additionally, many toys and educational stores carry a variety of magnets for different purposes.
No
yes carbon attracts magnets.
yes
No. Aluminum is not magnetic.
Some minerals contain magnetite, which is atracted to magnets.
Some minerals contain magnetite, which is atracted to magnets.
Iron is attracted to a magnet. This property is due to its high iron content, which allows it to be magnetized and attracted to magnets.

A36 is paramagnetic. It is fairly good conductor of magnetic field, and it will be atracted to magnets strongly. As far as residual magnetism (can it be magnetized) I don't know for sure. I know you can not make usefully strong magnets out of A36 material, but it may have some residual magnetism.
No, sulfur is not attracted to magnets because it is a non-metal element that is not magnetic. Magnetism in materials is usually due to the presence of ferromagnetic elements like iron, nickel, or cobalt which sulfur does not contain.
No, quartz is not attracted to magnets because it is not a magnetic mineral. The magnetic properties of a material are determined by its atomic structure, and quartz does not have the necessary structure to be attracted to magnets.
