Question

Difference between fluidity and viscosity

Open in App
Solution

Viscosity is defined as the ability of liquid to resist its flow while fluidity refers to the tendency to allow its flow easily. These two terms are opposite in their meaning. A less viscous liquid will have more fluidity and vice versa.






Viscosity is the resistance to flow. Fluidity is the ease with which a fluid like water flows. So, they are opposite to each other. Fluidity increases and visosity decreases with temperature.
