why different liquids flow at different rates in terms of their intermolecular forces??

Question

why different liquids flow at different rates in terms of their intermolecular forces??

can some one explain it please??

Answer 1

It usually involves the differences in intermolecular bonds such as hydrogen and Vander Waals forces. When different compounds have different forces acting between the molecules, there will be different rates of shearing forces, leading to different viscosities.
