What regulates, or gives a substance the viscosity it has?

Answer Posted / shrinivas prasad bulusuwar

viscosity is basically the resistance to flow, caused by
friction between two adjacent layers of the fluid.
The bottommost layer offers resistance to the adjacent
layer causing decrease in the velocity of the adjacent
layer.
Also, viscosity is caused due to the inter-molecular forces
of attraction.

X is a solid having a white colour at room temperature. It has a density about 2g/cc. Although it has melting point near 325 degree Celsius, its properties start degrading above 260 degree Celsius. The coefficient of friction is very low about 0.1. It has very good dielectric properties especially at higher radio frequencies. It has a very high bulk resistivity. It is chemically inert. It is also resistant to van der Waals force. It is hydrophobic as well as lipophobic. Creep or ‘Cold Flow’ has been observed in X.
