How does the particle teory relate to viscosity?

Answer 1

When certain types of fluids are increased in heat such as honey, the molecules would expand or loosen up because they are being subject to heat. The molecules loosen up in this form in order to decrease the temperature internally in the fluid. If the fluid or ''honey'' is being subject to cold temperatures than the viscosity of the fluid would increase. This form of molecules would act in such a way to maintain the inner heat of the fluid. Thus making the the viscosity of the fluid at a much higher rate.

Answer 2

The particle theory explains viscosity as the result of intermolecular forces between the particles of a fluid. High viscosity is associated with strong intermolecular forces, which impede the flow of particles past each other, while low viscosity is associated with weaker intermolecular forces, allowing particles to flow more easily.
