What happens if iron and tin pieces are placed near a magnet?

When iron and tin pieces are placed near a magnet, the iron will be attracted to the magnet due to its ferromagnetic properties. This means that iron can become magnetized and will move toward the source of the magnetic field. In contrast, tin is not ferromagnetic and will not be affected by the magnet; it will remain in its original position. Therefore, only the iron will exhibit a noticeable reaction to the magnet.
