A homogeneous mixture.
To make bouncy balls using borax and cornstarch, mix equal parts of warm water and cornstarch in a bowl. In a separate container, mix warm water with borax until dissolved. Slowly pour the borax mixture into the cornstarch mixture while stirring. Shape the mixture into balls and let them dry for a day.
Borax solution is a mixture of borax (sodium borate) powder dissolved in water. It is commonly used as a cleaning agent, insecticide, and fungicide. Borax solution can also be used in certain scientific experiments and as a laundry booster.
To make slime using borax, mix 1/2 cup of white glue with 1/2 cup of water. In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 teaspoon of borax with 1 cup of water, stirring until the borax is dissolved. Slowly pour the borax mixture into the glue mixture while stirring until the slime forms. Knead the slime with your hands until it reaches the desired consistency.
Dissolved oxygen is a gas that is dissolved in water, so it is not a compound or mixture itself. It is a single substance dispersed uniformly in the water.
The borax acts as a cross-linking agent that polymerizes the glue molecules, creating a bouncy rubber-like material. The water helps dissolve the borax and distribute it evenly in the glue mixture. When the mixture dries, the cross-linked polymers give the ball its elasticity and bounce.

Dissolved oxygen is a gas that is dissolved in water, so it is not a compound or mixture itself. It is a single substance dispersed uniformly in the water.
In a starch-type glue (e.g. a wheatpaste glue / wallpaper glue), the borax acts as a gelling agent, thereby increasing the viscosity and glue strength. Borax also has fungicidal properties, thereby acting as a preservative against mould.
Mix 1 teaspoon borax in 1 cup of warm / hot water. Stir until the borax is dissolved. In a separate container, mix 1/2 cup (4 oz) white glue with 1/2 cup steaming hot water. Add food coloring, if desired and mix well. Pour glue mixture into borax mixture and stir vigorously.
The borax acts as a cross-linking agent that polymerizes the glue molecules, creating a bouncy rubber-like material. The water helps dissolve the borax and distribute it evenly in the glue mixture. When the mixture dries, the cross-linked polymers give the ball its elasticity and bounce.
Salt dissolved in water is a solution, not a mixture. The result is called a saline solution.
To make liquid borax, you can dissolve borax powder in hot water. Mix until the powder is fully dissolved and the solution becomes clear. Allow the solution to cool before using it.
To make a borax bouncy ball at home, you will need borax powder, cornstarch, white glue, warm water, food coloring (optional), and small plastic containers. Mix 1 tablespoon of white glue, 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch, and a few drops of food coloring in a container. In a separate container, mix 1/2 teaspoon of borax powder with 1 tablespoon of warm water until dissolved. Slowly pour the borax mixture into the glue mixture while stirring. Once the mixture starts to clump together, take it out and roll it into a ball. Let it sit for a few minutes to harden before bouncing.
