This is a pretty vague question, and the answer would be it depends on many things. Are you including non-newtonian fluids? If so, it would be a non-newtonian fluid of some sort. Glass is actually a "supercooled liquid" and would have a very high viscosity if you include supercooled liquids.
It also depends on temperature. water at 1 degree Celcius has very low viscosity, but lowering it to 0, turns it into a solid
On the other end, there are a few man made substances with 0 viscosity, that will literally climb the walls of a container and coat it with a 1 atom thick layer
OMFG-OSH! i would say oil or something that's thick <--- lol THICK HE HE HEEE!
but to get to the point it'll be a hot substance that's oily or something in that manner.... hope i was a big help XD

∙ 13y agoViscosity is attributed to the cohesion of a liquid. Cohesion is the attraction between like molecules. This attraction comes from the type of bonds the molecule has. The three types are hydrogen bond, dipole force, and London forces.
Hydrogen bond- strongest type of intermolecular bond. Results from an O-H, N-H, of F-H bond. This is because the pulls are so strong by Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Fluorine on Hydrogen that it creates an almost ionic bond.
Dipole forces- next strongest type of IMF. results from unequal sharing in a bond.
London forces- weakest type of IMF. results from slight polarization in otherwise nonpolar molecules.

How does temorature affect viscosity?
Yes. Higher Temperature= Low viscosity Lower Temperature=High viscosity
Is flammability a property of matter?
The flammability of a substance is a chemical property. Flammability means how easily a substance will burn in oxygen.
How does a thickness of a fluid compare to its viscosity?
The more thick the substance is, the higher the viscosity.
How well a substance flows at a given temperature?
The ability of a substance to flow at a given temperature is it's viscosity. Water is not very viscus at room temperature and flows easily for example.
What has Low density and high viscosity?
honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah. honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah.
If a substance pours slowly it has a high?
viscosity
What does it mean to have highest viscosity?
The term viscosity refers to the thickness of a liquid, or the degree to which a liquid resists flowing. The highest viscosity is the greatest thickness.
How do you increase viscosity of a substance?
Lowering the temperature the viscosity is higher.
How does temorature affect viscosity?
Yes. Higher Temperature= Low viscosity Lower Temperature=High viscosity
What substance has the lowest viscosity?
Water is the liquid that has the lowest viscosity and helium is the gas that has the lowest viscosity.
When you heat a substance how does it affect its viscosity?

How is viscosity related to flow rate?
Viscosity is a substances resistance to flow. So as the viscosity of a substance increases, the flow rate will decrease.
What is viscoslty?
Viscosity is the resistance to flow of a substance. The higher the viscosity, the more resistant it is to flow. That is to say, glue has a higher viscosity than water.
Is it true or false the chemical property viscosity describes a substance like honey's resistance to flowing?
True. Viscosity refers to the "state of being thick/sticky" (taken from dictionary). So it could be described as a substance like honey's resistance to flowing. Honey is high in viscosity, water is low. So the 'stickier' the substance, the higher in viscosity.
A substance that pours very slowly has a high what?
Viscosity
What happens to viscosity as temperature increases?
As the temperature rises, the viscosity, meaning a substance's resistance to flow decreases because a liquid based substance melts, and flows more.Viscosity decreases as temperature increases.
What is viscosity means in terms of the particle theory?
Viscosity is a measure of how easily particles flow over, around and about each other. The greater their tendency to flow, the higher the viscosity of the substance.
