Question:

If I magnetize water?

If I magnetize water, then I put a paper clip on top of it, what will happen?please include suggestions of cool stuff i could do with magnetic water

Answer:

I'm guessing you mean ionizing distilled water by electrolysis or some other means. If the charge is evenly distributed throughout, I would say the paper clip would be suspended in the center. I'm probably way off base with this one. Good thing it was an hour ago when you asked, so I don't have to feel like I'm under the white hot light.
If you magnetize water. you'd probably win the Nobel Prize. Water molecules are slightly polar from the two hydrogen atoms on one end and the oxygen on the other; however, this is a static electric field, not a magnetic one. Water can also support a weak electric field passing through it and hence be acted on by a magnetic field; and changing an electric field in water can induce a changing magnetic field in another magnetic material, however, water itself is not magnetic. If you put iron particles in it or dissolve metallic salts like sodium chloride (table salt) or calcium chloride, they will only make the water conductive, not magnetic.
water does not hold magnetic charge. You can't magnetize it.
