      Hi legonator!

      FANTASTIC screen name! Love it! 🙂

      The strongest types of magnets that are magnetic on their own are made of ferromagnetic crystals like iron (Fe) for example. But there are also lots of others – and here are their molecular formulas:
      Co
      Fe2O3
      FeOFe2O3
      NiOFe2O3
      CuOFe2O3
      MgOFe2O3
      MnBi
      Ni
      MnSb
      MnOFe2O3
      Y3Fe5O12
      CrO2
      MnAs
      Gd
      Dy
      EuO

      All clear?

      🙂 Sarah
