The greater the attraction between the molecules the sticker and more viscous the liquid will be
Anonymous
Viscosity is determined by the internal friction between the molecules of a liquid. Factors such as molecular size and shape, intermolecular forces, and temperature influence viscosity. Liquids with larger and more complex molecules, stronger intermolecular forces, and lower temperatures tend to have greater viscosity because the molecules have a harder time sliding past one another.

Why do different liquids flow differently?
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.
Why do different liquids have different volcosities?
Viscosity is measured by what's called a "marsh funnel cup". It is determined by the temperature of the fluid and the ambient temperature, as well as the thickness in which a fluid moves and the specific gravity has some bearing on it, too. So all of these variables determine what each liquid's viscosity is.
What is a substance that has a high viscosity?
High viscosity is relative. All things that have flow exhibit viscosity or resistance to flow including gasses and liquids and even some things we consider solid. So, water has a very high viscosity compared to air. Molasses is high compared to water and glass is very very high compared to pretty much anything. There is a pretty good explanation of the math/science in the related link below.
What happens when you cool water?
Many liquids freeze (turn solid).Some liquids have great changes in their viscosity as they cool, some do not.Liquid Helium is an exception, there is no solid phase of Helium at standard pressure.
Why cant a sponge absorb some liquids as well as others?
depends on the density of the liquid
Why do some liquids flow more slowly than others?
The viscosity of the fluid controls its flow rate. A higher viscosity reduces the flow.
Why some chemical move faster than others?
For liquids, it depends on their viscosity, which is essentially a measure of how "syurpy" something is.

Why do some liquids burn while others do not?
The chimicals in some liquids burn others do not.

What is the relation between viscosity and compressibility?
There is no relationship, other than they both are in relation to thickness of some type. Density (sp) is a measurement of solid objects Viscosity (sp) is a measurement of liquids
When a liquid has a high viscosity what does that mean?
A liquid with high viscosity is thick and runs slowly. Some example of highly viscous liquids are molasses, honey, and syrup.
What makes some liquids have a greater surface tension than others?
The surface tension is primarily due to the arrangement of electrons of the molecules that comprise the liquid.
Why do some liquids freeze faster than others?
Because some liquids have less kinetic energy.
Are liquids kept in a container?
Some, yes, and others, no.
Does salt water float?
On some liquids it will float, on others it will not.
Are liquids dense?
Some liquids are denser than others. In general, everyday experience, most liquids are denser than gases, but not as dense as solids. There are some exceptions to this rule.
