How does the strength of a liquid's intermolecular forces affect its viscosity

Viscosity increases with stronger intermolecular forces

Step-by-step explanation:

Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow.

A liquid can flow easily only if the molecules can move past each other with little resistance.

If there are strong intermolecular attractive forces among molecules, it is more difficult for them to move past each other.

For example, the molecules in molasses have strong attractive forces, so it is quite viscous.
