  • Viscosity: Understanding the Friction of Liquids
    The friction between moving molecules in a liquid is called viscosity.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow.

    * Higher viscosity means the fluid flows more slowly (like honey).

    * Lower viscosity means the fluid flows more easily (like water).

    The friction between molecules, also known as intermolecular forces, is what causes viscosity. The stronger these forces, the more difficult it is for the molecules to move past each other, resulting in higher viscosity.
