because something too complicated to explain to simple minds happens and it makes a colloidal substance.
The chemical formula for cornstarch is (C6H10O5)n. When cornstarch is added to water, it does not form a specific chemical formula but rather creates a mixture where the cornstarch particles disperse throughout the water.
A colloidal mixture is sometimes called a colloidal system, a colloidal suspension, or simply a "colloid." The smallest dimension of the minor component of a colloidal mixture can range from approximately one nanometer (1 billionth of a meter) to one micrometer (1 millionth of a meter). Examples of liquid colloidal mixtures are milk, paints, and muddy water. The medium can be a gas, in the cases of smog, smoke, or aerosol sprays. Some solids are considered to be colloidal mixtures, as in steel or foam rubber. A colloidal mixture is sometimes called a colloidal system, a colloidal suspension, or simply a "colloid."

Albumin in water is an example of a colloidal solution. Sand and water is a suspension and sugar in water is a solution. So the answer is A.
The origin of the word is from a Dr. Seuss book named, "Bartholomew and the Oobleck. It is a non-Newtonian substance made of cornstarch and water that acts like a solid when force is applied. You can pour it or have it drip from your fingers. You can make it with 1 cup of cornstarch and 1/2 cup of water (add food coloring to the water) and mix.
No, mixing cornstarch with water is not a chemical reaction. It is a physical change. The cornstarch particles disperse throughout the water, but no new substances are formed.
If you mix cornstarch and glycerol you get a gel like substance that will take a sightly yellow complexion compared to cornstarch and water. This is not the same substance that you get if you mix cornstarch and water
yes you can but you'd need a lot of cornstarch like 5:1 of cornstarch to water
A colloid is a mixture in which one substance is divided into minute particles (called colloidal particles) and dispersed throughout a second substance. The mixture they form is called a colloidal dispersion. A colloidal dispersion consists of colloids in a dispersing medium. It doesn't have to be liquid.

mix cornstarch with water until it become thick and roll it into a ball about 3inchs and let set for about a week and it will be chunky mix cornstarch with water until it become thick and roll it into a ball about 3inchs and let set for about a week and it will be chunky
Water is typically used as the dissolving medium to dissolve cornstarch in experiments, as it is a polar solvent that can interact with the starch molecules to break them down and form a solution.

If you are referring to any metal particles suspended in water I believe the term you are looking for is Colloidal. For example.... Colloidal Silver is silver particles suspended in water.
It is a solution. :)
Yes, you can separate cornstarch from water by letting the mixture sit until the cornstarch settles to the bottom, then carefully pouring off the water. You could also use centrifugation to separate the cornstarch by spinning the mixture at high speed to force the cornstarch to the bottom of the container.
