Interpretation:
The property of hydrocarbon molecules that correlates to the viscosity needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The hydrocarbon compounds contain compound that are made up of only hydrogen and carbon atoms. Hydrocarbon compounds that contains single bonds are said to be saturated and compounds that contains multiple bond(s) are said to be
Explanation of Solution
Several physical properties of hydrocarbons are determined from their size. The size of hydrocarbon and viscosity are directly proportional to each other that is, if the size of the hydrocarbon is small then viscosity of the hydrocarbon will be very low, whereas if the size of the hydrocarbon is large then viscosity of the hydrocarbon will be higher.
