f you have a bit of slime in your hand and just let it sit there, the slime will spread out and ooze between your fingers like a liquid. But if you squeeze your hand around the slime, it becomes like a solid. So which is it?
Slime is actually a colloidal solution. That means that small particles of cornstarch are suspended in the water but not actually in the water like salt is when you make a cup of salt water. Colloids have different properties than solutions. If you bang on the surface of salt water the water splashes. But if you tap the surface of slime, it feels solid. The more pressure you apply to the surface the harder it becomes. Slime is a non-Newtonian liquid, which means that the viscosity, or resistance, of the liquid changes as you apply a stronger force. If you rest your hand on the surface of slime it will sink in, but it you smack it, the surface is solid. Water is a Newtonian liquid and has an unchanging viscosity. This is why you can swim in water, but not in quicksand, which is like slime.

Yes, mouthwash is a colloid. It is a liquid mixture containing suspended particles that do not settle out.
Is gold a colloid?
No, gold is not a colloid. Gold is a pure element and does not form a colloid by dispersing into another substance.

It is a solution.
How can a torch be used to test a colloid?
A torch can be used to test a colloid by shining the light through the colloid. If the colloid scatters the light making it visible (Tyndall effect), then it is a colloid. This is because the particles in the colloid are large enough to scatter light, unlike particles in a solution which are too small.
How can you ensure slime safety when making and playing with homemade slime?
To ensure slime safety when making and playing with homemade slime, always use non-toxic ingredients, wash hands before and after handling slime, avoid ingesting slime, and store slime in a sealed container when not in use.
Is slime a colloid or emulsion?
Slime is primarily considered a colloid. It is a mixture where tiny particles of one substance are dispersed throughout another, typically consisting of water, glue, and a thickening agent like borax or cornstarch. While emulsions involve the mixing of two immiscible liquids, slime's unique properties arise from its polymer structure and the interactions between its components, classifying it as a colloidal system.
What type of colloid is slime?
Slime is typically classified as a type of non-Newtonian colloid known as a polymer gel. It consists of long-chain molecules (polymers) that are dispersed in a liquid, creating a semi-solid structure. This unique composition allows slime to exhibit properties such as viscosity and elasticity, which change under different stress conditions. The interactions between the polymer chains and the liquid contribute to its characteristic stretchy and gooey texture.
