Since water is a much smaller molecule than octane C8H18 one would expect it to flow more quickly However studies show that water is almost four times as viscous as octane How can this be explain?

Octane molecules have almost no interaction with each other but water molecules link up together via a process called hydrogen bonding. This increases the viscosity, boiling and melting points for water.

What is smaller a molecule or a micron?
The units are incompatible. Millimetres are linear, micro-litres are for volume.
Which is smaller an element or a molecule?
An atom of an element is usually smaller than a molecule of a compound. Molecules are made by bonding 2 or more atoms, of one or more elements. The molecule is the smallest particle of a compound.
