The greater he viscosity of a liquid the slower it flows true or false

True, more the viscosity lesser the flow

Answer: True

Explanation:

Viscosity is defined as the resistance to the flow of a fluid. More are the inter molecular forces between the particles of a liquid, the more the viscosity of the liquid and thus it will flow slowly.

Example: Oil is more viscous than water and thus flows slowly than water.

Effect of temperature: Viscosity decreases with increase in temperature as the forces among particles decrease due to increase in kinetic energy and thus they offer less resistance to flow.
