INGRIDIENTS

-a potion is a magical mixture of magical, mundane and transitional ingridients

-each of these ingredients have their own effectsthat can help or hinder the human body

-when we place these ingredients in a couldron and add thermal and magical energy, it makes those ingridients to restucture themselves and to form new chemicals and compounds.



COMPOUND

- is a single substance formed by two or more athoms

-a compouns is defined by being formed by the same molecule over and over again



MIXTURE

-a mixture combines two or more compounds toghether

-a mixture can either be considered heterogeneous or homogeneous

-a potion is a mixture of compounds. a potion combines multiple compounds in the couldron, water, magical ingridients and mundane ingridients



SOLUTIONS

- a solution is a tipe of mixture

-a solution is when there is a smaller amount of a substance, known as a solute, spreads troughout a greater quantity of another substance, known as the solvent.



PHASES AND PHASE TRANSITIONS

-Solids, liquids and gases are composed of basic units known as atoms and molecules

-there is one more substance ofthen called the fourth state of the matter, known as plasma

-a phase transition is the term for when one of these phases pases to another

WHAT MAKES A POTION WORK

-the different components combiding do not simply react on their own

-in brewing potions, it requires the energy or heat as well as the magic in your wand in order to initiate a reaction in the ingredients. The order you add the ingridients is important because it enables certain ingridients to react in a specific way as the potion is brewed. this reaction causes the bonds of molecules to create something brand new
