Glucose is a solid at room temperature, so it doesn't make a great deal of sense to talk about its viscosity.
A solution of glucose in water is more viscous than water at the same temperature. One potential reason for this is that glucose has lots of sites to hydrogen bond with, and it's a significantly larger and heavier molecule than water is, so it diffuses more slowly.

Is water more viscous than honey?
the intermolecular attractionsis account for this behaivour of honey.
What does semen too viscous mean?
Well, in chemistry, viscous means the thickness of a liquid etc. here is an example Syrup is more viscous than water.
How does honey flow more slowly than water?
It is due to the difference in viscosity . Honey is more viscous than water due to strong inter molecular forces. On the other hand water is less viscous than honey . Therefore, it's easier to pour water as compared to honey . :-)
Why is oil more viscous than water?
xxx Oil is thicker because it is an element that is made partly from water. xxxBetter:"Can't tell you, because in general most oils are LESS dense than water."(Cf. Discussion page)
If a substance is viscous is it denser than a less viscous liquid?

Is water more viscous than vegetable oil and methylated spirits?
Water is more viscous than methylated spirits, and vegetable oils are more viscous than water.
Is water more viscous than honey?
the intermolecular attractionsis account for this behaivour of honey.
Can a viscous fluid be less dense then fresh water?
Yes, for example oil is less dense than water even though it is more viscous.
What does semen too viscous mean?
Well, in chemistry, viscous means the thickness of a liquid etc. here is an example Syrup is more viscous than water.
How viscosity can be explain to a lay man?
Viscosity has to do with the thickness of a fluid. Honey is more viscous than water for example. Blood becomes more and more viscous as it dries.
Why is glucose more soluble in water than cyclohexanol?
Glucose is more soluble in water than cyclohexanol because glucose is polar. In contrast, cyclohexanol is mostly nonpolar and therefore less soluble in water.
How does honey flow more slowly than water?
It is due to the difference in viscosity . Honey is more viscous than water due to strong inter molecular forces. On the other hand water is less viscous than honey . Therefore, it's easier to pour water as compared to honey . :-)
Why HF is less viscous than water?
due to more h-bonding in water as compared to Hf
Why HF less viscous than water?
due to more h-bonding in water as compared to Hf
Why does honey diffuse in water at slower rate than ink?
Because it is more viscous.
Petroleum in Albertas oil snads is more viscous than mollasses and certainly too viscous to pump How did they solve the problem?
Added heat. Warm petroleum is far less viscous than cold. Pumps like water.
What Is visocosiy?
Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flow. For example, honey is more viscous than water.
