Magnetic Elements

According to Wikipedia, the following elements are magnetic: iron, cobalt, nickel, gadolinium, terbium and dysprosium. Wikipedia doesn't mention neodymium on its Ferromagnetism page, but on its Neodymium page it says that neodymium is ferromagnetic at temperatures below 19 Kelvin (–254 °C). It also says that compounds of neodymium can be magnetic at temperatures well above room temperature, and these are used to make neodymium magnets. On its Neodymium magnet page, Wikipedia says that neodymium magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnet commercially available.

Various compounds of iron and manganese (and also europium oxide) are also magnetic.
