Because water has lower viscosity (resistance to flow) than syrup does.
Corn syrup
Since dark corn syrup is a mixture, it doesn't have a definite specific viscosity.
Water, corn syrup, cooking oil, and vinegar all have varying viscosities, but they can be compared in terms of their flow characteristics. Water is relatively low in viscosity, while corn syrup is much thicker due to its higher sugar concentration. Cooking oil has a viscosity that is generally lower than corn syrup but higher than water. Vinegar, being an aqueous solution of acetic acid, has a viscosity similar to that of water, making it the least viscous among the four.

Molasses because its thicker. Thicker means it has a higher viscosity.
Yes, corn syrup is considered a high-viscosity liquid. Its thick, sticky consistency is due to the high concentration of sugars, which increases its resistance to flow. This characteristic makes corn syrup useful in various food applications, such as sweeteners and thickeners.
Water is the least viscous, with vegetable oil being 2nd on the list and the most viscous would be corn syrup. Viscosity can be dependent on the liquid, and can also change when a solute is dissolved in the liquid.
The answer depends on what characteristic is being measured: its mass, volume, viscosity, and so on.
Yes, copper would sink in corn syrup. This is because copper is denser than corn syrup, which typically has a density lower than that of copper. As a result, when placed in corn syrup, the copper would not float but instead would sink to the bottom.
No, maple syrup comes from the Maple tree. Corn syrup comes from corn.
A plausible reason why a given liquid has a high viscosity is that the compound has a high amount of hydrogen bonding. Examples of liquids with a high viscosity are lava, honey and corn syrup.
