That rather depends on exactly what is meant by "sticky", since that could mean viscosity as well as adhesive properties. For example, a thin liquid such as Super Glue (cyanoacrylate) is very sticky as far as adhesive properties are concerned but has low viscosity. A thick substance such as molten sugar or volcanic lava has high viscosity, but poor adhesion. Pine Resin is a good example of a substance that has high viscosity as well as good adhesive properties. The stickiness of any substance will change with temperature, presence of moisture, pressure and other variables.

Why goo yuck a solid and a liquid?

Goo can result from mixing a solid with a liquid when the two substances combine to create a sticky, viscous material. This can happen when a solid material is partially dissolved or dispersed in a liquid, altering its texture and consistency. Depending on the properties of the solid and liquid involved, the resulting goo may have various viscosities and stickiness levels.

Why does tape lose it's stickiness?

Tape can lose its stickiness due to factors such as exposure to air, dust, dirt, oil, and moisture, all of which can weaken the adhesive properties of the tape. Additionally, repeated use and aging can also contribute to a decrease in stickiness over time.


Why is it harder to move through a vicous liquid?

Moving through a viscous liquid is harder because the liquid has higher resistance to flow due to its thickness and stickiness. This resistance causes a drag force that opposes the movement of objects through the liquid, requiring more force or energy to overcome.
