The property of flowing very slowly in a liquid is known as viscosity. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. A liquid with high viscosity, like honey or molasses, flows much more slowly compared to a liquid with low viscosity, like water or alcohol.
When a force is applied to a viscous liquid, the molecules within it interact more strongly with each other, which makes it resistant to movement. This explains why thick liquids don’t pour out quickly, and it is an important property to consider in various applications, from engineering to cooking.
