The viscosity of liquids…… as the temperature rises.

A

increases

B

decreases

C

may increase or decrease

D

remains unchanged

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Because at high temperature , molecules have high kinetic energies and , hence , can overcome the intermolecular forces to slip past one another between the layers.
