Answer to Question #175819 in General Chemistry for Nicole

Question

WHAT I KNOW ON VISCOSITY?

-Viscosuty is resistance to flow. For liquids, typically the larger the intermolecular forces (IMF) the higher the viscosity. The other factors that affect viscosity are temperature and the shape of the molecule. Higher temperature will correspond to higher average kinetic energues and faster moving molecules. This will lead to a lower viscosity. The shape will also affect the viscosity., as molecule with many branches or kinks will be harder to "slide-by" one another than small "round" molecules.

Hypothesis 2: How does tge movement of marble differin water and in Oil?
