The resistance of a liquid to flowing?

Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow. It is a measure of the internal friction within a fluid as it moves. Liquids with high viscosity flow more slowly than those with low viscosity.


If a liquid flows easily what is its viscosity?

If a liquid flows easily, it has low viscosity. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow; low viscosity means the fluid flows easily, while high viscosity means it flows more slowly.


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 is the term used to describe how well liquid flows?

Viscosity is the term used to describe how well a liquid flows. It measures the resistance of a liquid to flow and is influenced by factors like temperature and composition. Low viscosity liquids flow more easily, while high viscosity liquids flow more slowly.


Does high viscosity and dissolved gases increase volcano explosions?

Yes.High viscosity magmas are thick whereas lower viscosity ones are thin and runny. Therefore higher the viscosity or the resistant to flow property , more violent will be the explosions. As the magma rises up the mantle the confining pressure reduces which results in the release of potential dissolved gases from the melt.More the dissolved gases more violent will be the explosion.

When compared to high viscosity liquid a liquid with a low viscosity does what?

A liquid with low viscosity flows more easily and rapidly compared to a high viscosity liquid. This is because low viscosity liquids have weaker internal friction between their particles, allowing them to move more freely.

When you describe liquid as thick are you saying that it has a high or low viscosity?

A thick liquid would have a high viscosity :)Thick liquids have a high viscosity. Example "What is the viscous liquid you are drinking?" is the same as "what is that thick liquid you are drinking?"

What is the term for the thickness of a liquid?

The term for the thickness of a liquid is viscosity. This property determines how easily the liquid flows and is influenced by factors such as temperature and composition. A high viscosity liquid is more resistant to flowing, while a low viscosity liquid flows more easily.


What liqiud has high viscosity?

An example of a liquid with a high viscosity is Molasses… essentially, a liquid with a high viscosity is one that flows very slowly


Explain what viscosity is and how it would change as matter changes states I cant find the answer?

Viscosity is a property of liquids and gases. In every day terms syrup is viscous and water isn't. Liquids with high viscosity are difficult to stir, there is resistance to movement through the liquid. A change of state from liquid to gas would cause the viscosity to reduce. Technically viscosity is a resistance to shear or tensile stresses. Viscosity can be measured for all liquids and gases. Wikipedia gives a technical description.

Which is a plausible reason for why a given liquid has a high viscosity?

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.
