Stronger

Long vs short hydrocarbons: intermolecular forces

Stronger in long hydrocarbons

Viscosity definition

Measure of how easily a liquid flows

How do stronger intermolecular forces affect flow?

Make it harder for liquid to flow

Effect of stronger intermolecular forces on viscosity

Increases viscosity (more viscous)

Viscosity of larger hydrocarbons

More viscous (stronger intermolecular forces)

Syrup vs water viscosity

Syrup is more viscous

Why is syrup more viscous than water?

Larger molecules, stronger intermolecular forces
