Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, and it isn't typically applicable to solids in the same way it is to liquids and gases. Solids have a different property called "elasticity," which describes their ability to deform under stress and return to their original shape. However, if we consider the flow of some solids under extreme conditions (like in the case of very high temperatures or pressures), they can exhibit a form of viscosity, often referred to as "viscous flow." In general, though, solids are characterized more by their rigidity than by viscosity.

Does Dark colored Basalt Rock have low viscosity?

Rock itself is solid and so does not have visocosity. However, the lava that forms basalt is low viscosity.


What is the viscosity for iodine?

Iodine is a solid crystal, and is not viscous. It may be dissolved in alcohol, and viscosity will vary based on the solution made. If the crystal is heated to extremely high temperatures it will become a vapor, which can have its viscosity measured.

What is the viscosity of sodium bromate at room temperature?

Since sodium bromate is a salt, thus a solid crystal, melting point 381 °C, there are NO viscosity data known. Viscosity is a property of fluids!, telling how 'thick' or 'sticky' it is.
