Well, darling, when you mix rubbing alcohol and corn starch, you get a lovely little science experiment known as a non-Newtonian fluid. The alcohol breaks down the starch molecules, creating a gooey substance that acts like a liquid when poured slowly but hardens when you apply force. It's like magic, but with more science and less rabbits.

When rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) is mixed with corn starch, a chemical reaction does not occur. Rubbing alcohol is a solvent that evaporates quickly, while corn starch is a carbohydrate polymer. When combined, the rubbing alcohol may dissolve the corn starch temporarily, but once the alcohol evaporates, the corn starch will remain unchanged.
