Question

Compare the viscosity property of solid and liquid. ​

Answer 1

Answer

There is nothing like viscosity in solid because most of the solids usually have a rigid body. This is due to strong intermolecular forces. And it is due to this strong force between the molecules that they are unable to move and they remain fixed at their position. Some solids such as graphite which have layered structure, don't possess the property of viscosity, because of the strong force between the layers.

Explanation:

Viscosity is the property of a fluid that opposes the relative motion between two surfaces of the fluid that are moving at different velocities. In simple terms, viscosity means friction between the molecules of fluid.

FOR EXAMPLE

water is "thin", having a low viscosity, while vegetable oil is "thick" having a high viscosity
