Liquids have intermolecular forces of attraction,these resist the motion of a liquid.

These forces have different magnitude in different liquids thus some fluids flow more easily than others.

it is the viscousness of the liquid which causes surface tension with the moving or supporting thing(which helps the liquids flow)....

This is due to the viscosity of the liquid, or its resistance to flow.

because of viscosity. liquids with a high viscosity have a slower flow rate. cohesion is also part of it. cohesion is the force of attraction between the particles of a fluid.
