According to the data table, the resilience of observation #2 is greater than observation #1 because the more borax solution in the slime, the more viscosity it has. By Newton’s discovery, the greater the viscosity, the harder and solidified the slime will be which all the bonds between the white glue and borate ions are tightly hold together.
Base on the data provided above, the slime in observation#1 can be stretched longer than the slime in observation #2 because the #1 slime has less borax solution, which let the glue molecules and borate molecules to move more freely. Because in observation #1 there is less borax solution, thus less glue molecules has been locked in place to make the slime stable. In contrast, in observation #2 the slime …show more content…
This phenomenon suggests that the slime is a non-Newtonian substance that their viscosity will be affected by shear stress. In this measurement the shear stress is gravity. As gravity is pulling the slime down, the slime in observation #1 immediately changed its shape just like a fluid. The bonds in that slime does not lock tight that it loosely stretched like glue or liquid. In observation #2 the slime did not move at all because its viscosity is too strong. Maybe if given more time it will eventually stretch, but since it has such strong viscosity like a solid, it will not stretch in a short period of …show more content…
According to the data table, the slime in observation #1 took only 25 minutes to fill the ziplock bag in a room that has room temperature of 82 F, and the slime in observation #2 took 45 minutes. Since after all the slime is still a liquid because it is in the non-Newtonian fluid categories, it will eventually become the shape of its container. As the temperature is high, the motion of the molecules of slime is becoming faster and faster, which the intermolecular force between particles is weaker. If the intermolecular force is weaker, than the slime will become more liquid like. Because in observation #1 the slime has less borax solution, so the slime has less bonds and also less large molecules form by borate ions and protein molecules of glue, which it will easily changed its shape to fit its container. In observation #2, the slime has more borax solution, so the big molecules of glue and borate ions are more difficult to loosen. The molecules are hard to move past another, so it will be harder and take longer time for it to change its
