Chapter 4

Oxidation is when there is a loss of a subatomic particle (namely electrons), and an increase in the oxygen molecules. The opposite of this is known as Reduction (redox reaction).Hydrochloric AcidColorless and odorless solution of hydrogen chloride and water.

Lead - Part of the Carbon Group.  Scientific symbol is [Pb].  Has a Latin route that was once known as 'Plumbum".  One of the easiest metals to manipulate with magic.  Melting point is 327.5°C/ 621.43°F.  Density is 11.342 g/cm³.


Alchemy symbol for Lead.  Was the element in Ancient Egypt to create coins.  Dates back to 2000 B.C. in Anceint Egypt.  Greeks applied lead to the hulls of ships due to its lesser ability to corrode than wood.  Know to be the ruler of the lusterless prime matter.

Particle Accelerator - Manipulates the electromagnetic field.

Zinc - Scientific symbol is [Zn].  Germanic origins is Zin.  One of the weakest metals - makes it very cheap, especially pure Zinc.  Melting point is 419°C/ 787.2°F.  Density is 7.140 g/mL.  United States penny is made up of 98% Zinc and 2% plated copper.  Is essential to the Earth, and is present in two of the Four Aspects.

Alchemy symbol for Zinc.  Would burn Zinc into the air to get a finished result called, "Nix Alba", or, "White Snow".  Use Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) with it.  Tossing a penny into the mixture combines the Zinc and Copper to make brass.

Sodium Hydroxide - Easily destroys metal bases.
Alloy - Mixture of a solid solution.  Composed of a particular element mixed with a metal.

Nickel - Melting point is 2913°C/ 5275°F.  Density is 8.908 g/cm³.


Alchemy symbol for Nickel.  Dates back to 3500 B.C.  The minerals within are able to turn glass green.  Melting point is 1455°C/ 2651°F.  United States Nickel is 75% Copper, and 25% Nickel.
Morbi Videntur - Translates to "Green appear".  Pronounced Mor-BEE vi-DEN-ture.  Wand Movement: V shaped with a light jab toward the object.  Glass will instantly change colors if done correctly.  If done incorrectly, glass will have a crack down the middle.
Iron - Important element especially to our physiology.  Boiling point is 2,862°C/ 5,184°F.  Boiling point is extremely important.  Extremely abundant metal.  Symbolic of strength and male energy.  Density is 7.87 g/cm³.


Alchemy symbol of Iron.
Density - It allows one to transfigure between the volume of a particular substance, and its mass.  The higher the density per centimeter, the heavier it will be.
