      I have no idea about the numbering, but I know of at least

      • Ferromagnetism (like a fridge magnet)
      • Antiferromagnetism (opposite of ferromagnetism at an atomic level)
      • Diamagnetism (makes superconductors float)
      • Paramagnetism (like that spinny frog)

      These all indicate how a material reacts to a magnetic field. This article discusses “altermagnetism”, which is somewhere between ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism.

            Pretty sure it’s the other non-brand name for acetaminophen.
