Viscosity arises due to:
Kinetic energy of molecules of fluid
Surface tension
Internal friction between layers of fluid
Density of fluid
Viscosity is a measure of resistance to flow which arises due to internal friction between layers of fluid.
Viscosity of a liquid arises due to strong intermolecular forces existing between the molecules. Stronger the intermolecular forces, greater is the viscosity. Name the intermolecular forces existing in the following liquids and arrange them in the increasing order of their viscosities. Also give reason for the assigned order in one line.
Water, hexane (CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3) glycerine (CH2OHCH(OH)CH2OH)
