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…
