Answered

A student holds a magnet close to an unknown material. The material is not attracted to the magnet. Explain why this does not mean the material is a non-metal.



Answer :

Final answer:

Magnetism is a property that does not solely classify a material as a metal or non-metal.


Explanation:

Magnetism is a property associated with specific materials. Just because a material is not attracted to a magnet does not mean it is a non-metal. Some non-metallic materials, like plastic or wood, are not attracted to magnets. This lack of attraction does not determine if a material is a non-metal or not.
