Answer:

Yes, Iron bromide is magnetic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Iron bromide is a chemical compound with chemical formula FeBr2. It is a anhydrous compound with yellow and brownish color paramagnetic solid. Iron is magnetic. So, any metal with iron will be attracted to a magnet. Some metals like copper, gold and aluminium are non-magnetic.

Not all iron is magnetic. Iron is a ferromagnetic which is attracted to the magnets like nickel and cobalt. It is non-magnetic because they have net dipole moment of zero and have partially field electron shell.

Iron bromide is magnetic because it possses the strong magnetism at 4.2 degree kelvin.
