Question 3 • GA-GSE Physical Science A

Explain how viscosity is related to the flow and attraction between atoms in a liquid.

Answer

Answer:

Viscosity is a measure of a liquid's resistance to flow. When a liquid has high viscosity, it flows slowly because there is a strong attraction between its atoms or molecules, which prevents them from moving past each other easily. Conversely, liquids with low viscosity flow more quickly due to weaker intermolecular attractions.
