Explainwhy HF is less viscousthan H_(2) O.

Answer»

Solution :There is GREATER intermolecular hydrogen BONDING in`H_(2) O `than that in HF as each ` H_(2) O `molecule forms
fourH-bonds with other water molecules whereas HF forms only two H-bonds with other HF molecules .
Greater the intermoleuclar H-bonding, greater is the visosity . HENCE , HF is less VISCOUS than `H_(2) O`
