The most common magnetic element found in meteorites is iron. Another common element in meteorites is nickelwhich is also magnetic. Some meteorites also contain Cobaltwhich again is also magnetic.

The most common meteorites are H-Group Chonderites which make up about 31% of all meteorites ever found. They also contain the most metal at 15 - 20%.

Of this metal normally about 70% is Iron with about 29% nickel and trace amounts of cobalt along with other non magnetic metals including gold, platinum and silver.

Are all meteorites magnetic?

Meteorites fall into two classes, stony and iron. There is a belt of meteoric material near Mars, from which many of our meteorites come. Perhaps the debris from a broken planet? The iron meteorites, in fact iron-nickel mixtures, are magnetic. the stony meteorites are not. Have a look for Bode's Law in a reference source.


Are all meteorites attracted to magnet?

No, not all meteorites are attracted to magnets. Some meteorites contain iron and nickel, which are magnetic and will be attracted to magnets. However, other meteorites may not contain these elements and will not be attracted to magnets.

Why do scientist think earth's core contains iron?

Scientists believe Earth's core contains iron because of its density and magnetic properties. Iron is a dense element, which is consistent with the high density of Earth's core. Additionally, observations of Earth's magnetic field suggest the presence of iron in the core.


Is naphthalene magnetic?

No, naphthalene is not magnetic because it does not contain any unpaired electrons or magnetic properties that would make it attract to a magnetic field.
