Viscosity is the resistance of flow and surface tension is the lateral force of the bonds between the molecules.
Of course, viscosity is resistance of flow and surface tension of lateral force but viscosity is s display of frictional force during laminar flow caused due to intermolecular forces. The surface tension is a function of cohesive forces generated by intermolecular forces among similar molecules. Very rightly since both the parameters are dynamic in natures and hence a 3rd parameter noted as friccohesity is most advanced version of the contribution of the intermolecular forces operational in liquid dynamic behavior. The friccohesity along with surface tension, viscosity, wetting coefficient, interfacial tension are measured with borosil mansingh survismeter.

∙ 13y agoSurface tension is the elasticlike force existing in the surface of a body or a liquid, tending to minimize the area of the surface, caused by asymmetries in the intermolecular forces between surface molecules and viscosity is defined as the property of a fluid that resists the force tending to cause the fluid to flow or the measure of the extent to which a fluid possesses this property.

How does surface tension and viscosity affect the flow of liquids?
Viscosity is the resistance of flow and surface tension is the lateral force of the bonds between the molecules
Do small molecules have high surface tension?
Generally larger molecules with stronger intermolecular forces have higher surface tension. This tendency can be seen if you look at the surface tensions of the alkanes. Water is a clear exeption to this pattern due to the very strong hydrogen bonds.
Is surface tension a physical or chemical property?
It is a physical property imposed dependant upon the viscosity of the element.
What is extensive property. Viscosity Surface tension Energy Mass Refractive index?
energy mass refractive index
What are the factors affecting the surface tension?
The main factor is the strength of cohesion between molecules. For instance, water molecules have a slightly negative and a slightly positive end which makes them stick together like magnets. A molecule with more extreme positive and negative charges would have a stronger surface tension.

Measure of how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid?
viscosity
What is difference between leak down test with water or air?
Water, with surface tension and higher viscosity than air, will not show the smallest leaks air will show. For very sensitive testing, helium is also used. Water, with surface tension and higher viscosity than air, will not show the smallest leaks air will show. For very sensitive testing, helium is also used.
What are the two properties of liquid -?
the 2 properties are surface tension and viscosity
Why does water have a low viscosity?
it because water has a light surface tension
Will dishwashing liquid affect viscosity?
Viscosity of a fluid is mainly influenced by the friction caused by the interactions between its molecules. Therefore a dishwashing liquid or reagent does not affect the viscosity of water, it only affect its surface tension. .
Difference between parachor and rheochor?
parachor is depend on the surface tention of the liquid and its molar volume rheocor is depend upoun the viscosity of a liquid . both are additive and constiitutive property.
Do small molecules have high surface tension?
Generally larger molecules with stronger intermolecular forces have higher surface tension. This tendency can be seen if you look at the surface tensions of the alkanes. Water is a clear exeption to this pattern due to the very strong hydrogen bonds.
Do ball pen works on the principle of viscosity?
It may or may not ,because surface tension is also a reason
Is surface tension a physical or chemical property?
It is a physical property imposed dependant upon the viscosity of the element.
What are two characters of fluids?
Viscosity refers to a fluid's resistance to flow, which is influenced by the internal friction between its molecules. Surface tension is the result of cohesive forces between molecules at the surface of a fluid, causing it to behave as if it were covered by an invisible membrane.
Use each of the following terms in a separate sentence viscosity and surface tension?
Viscosity and surface tension of liquid sample are indispensable friccohesity chemistry. The water dipoles if are 100% aligned then cohesive forces are higher and viscosity comparatively could be lower. The water dipoles are haphazardly aligned with different cohesive and adhesive forces. The viscosity explain the interlaminar frictional forces as the haphazardly aligned molecules develop stronger interlayer interaction resisting a flow. For such haphazardly aligned liquid develop comparatively weaker cohesive forces or the lower surface tension. Therefore, the viscosity and surface tension work hand in hand and both are measured using survismeter. The sur stands for surface tension while the vis for the viscosity. The friccohesity gives a new physicochemical profile of molecular mixtures especially the nanoformulations. The friccohesity is calculated using the Man Singh equation. Their detailed understanding could be attained by going through the Survismeter and Friccohesity books
