Is distilled water also magnetic?

[FAB]

Water (and almost everything else!!) is DIAmagnetic, meaning that it's always repelled by magnets, no matter if it's the north or south side of it!

[wajibulshovelfood]

Everything is diamagnetic. In water, diamagnetism is dominant because of oxygen's valence +2 electrons. If an atom has a single electron in its valance shell it will be paramagnetic, but diamagnetism will still be present in filled shells below valance. Hence, everything can be diamagnetic but we have to look for the dominant one.
Edit: i had explained it further.

According to my physics teacher, everything has a slight charge, meaning all things are repelled or attracted to magnets

[Johnny_C]

Most everything on Earth is diamagnetic and is repelled by a magnet.

I hate “smart asses” who think they know everything and confidently post completely wrong information they know nothing about. Thanks for proving them wrong!

[obamaslastname]

Really cool! Teaching me something new every video!

[cheesediabloinamethystflav]

Water and everything else other then magnetic materials repel magnets so a material is either Magenetic Or diamagenatic which means it will either attract or repel magnets. The repealing of the materials is usually cancled out because of gravity

[thearchongamer]

Most things are weakly repelled with magnets, it’s also good to note that one of the easiest ways to make a compass is a container of water, a magnet, and something to let the magnet float.

It could also be possible that the sheet he placed the cup of water on was an electrical conductor, so when he moved the magnet towards the sheet and hence the water, there was a change in electromagnetic flux of the sheet which made current be produced in the sheet due to Lenz's law, making the sheet an induced magnet which repels the magnet moving towards it (according to Len's law, when the magnet moves towards the sheet, current will be produced in the sheet such that the sheet would repel the magnet).

The sheet might not be an electrical conductor but just stating a possibility.

I love how I’m using this information for my idea of controlling water. (I know it can’t actually happen, but I like to add science to fantasy ideas)

[tronchecake]

the water molecule is polar since it's positive and negative atoms aren't centered. This is why it can't mix with oil, which is apolar. This also means water does have a magnetic field, and can be attracted or repelled by magnets or even static electricity.

Thank you for listening, I believe it now.

[TroutFarmer-]

Bro you really pulled of the "big win"

[legolasnosense]

I think the reason why water is slightly magnetic is because water is dipolar, meaning one half of the magnet has a different charge than the other half. This means that with a very strong magnet, the water molecules can align and repel or get attracted to a pole. In this case it is repelled. Why I’m not sure but water can be magnetic on its own.

[henrycebula]

so if you draw an MO diagram for H2O you have electrons without pairs (ie one has an upspin but not one with a downspin), this means it is magnetic (so is O2 btw)

[YuriYoshiosan]

The glass and water is both diamagnetic. It will always be repelled.

[connorokeefe]

Water is polar; the “O” side is negative and the two H’s are positive. It’s also diamagnetic as a result so it’ll be repelled by magnets. It’s not very polar and so you need very strong magnets to do so normally… but in the paper boat, there isn’t much resistance making it easy to move

[ThatOldGuyYouKnow]

Water is a polar compound. Each water molecule is essentially a small magnet. This allows your magnet to repel it. Liquid oxygen is also paramagnetic, which is cool because you can deflect a stream of flowing liquid oxygen

[nicklittle]

Going by the molecular orbital model we know that water has 2 unpaired electrons and an angular shape. Without going too in depth, this makes the molecule diamagnetic (along with practically anything else that has electrons), meaning it is influenced by the presence of any magnetic field. Since the molecules are angular and contain high energy hydrogen bonds, they are also polar, meaning that they tend to orient themselves pole-wise such that each hydrogen atom is adjacent to the lone pair of electrons resting outside the oxygen atom of another molecule. This means that when a magnetic field is applied, the molecules allign in such a way that the repulsion of diamagetism can be easily observed as opposed to in other substances, thus allowing the entire system to be repelled by either end of the magnet. Though it is not caused by the polar nature of the molecule, it is most readily observed in such cases.

Hopefully this helps!

[Avighna]

Well, water has pairs of free electrons so that might be it.
