Oobleck is the mixture of _________?
Correct answer: D. Cornstarch and Water
- A. Gram Flour and Water
- B. Baking Soda and Vinegar
- C. Cement and Water
- D. Cornstarch and Water
Explanation
Oobleck is a non-Newtonian suspension made by mixing cornstarch with water. Its viscosity increases sharply when force is applied, which gives it unusual solid-like behaviour under sudden stress. Option a may be chosen by confusing cornstarch with gram flour, but gram flour and water do not make the standard oobleck mixture.

About Properties of Liquids
Liquid behavior depends on intermolecular forces, which produce surface tension, viscosity, capillary action and a definite volume without a fixed shape. The topic also covers vapor pressure, evaporation, boiling point and the effect of temperature and external pressure, while distinguishing evaporation at the surface from boiling throughout the liquid.
