This is a pretty vague question, and the answer would be it depends on many things. Are you including non-newtonian fluids? If so, it would be a non-newtonian fluid of some sort. Glass is actually a "supercooled liquid" and would have a very high viscosity if you include supercooled liquids.
It also depends on temperature. water at 1 degree Celcius has very low viscosity, but lowering it to 0, turns it into a solid
On the other end, there are a few man made substances with 0 viscosity, that will literally climb the walls of a container and coat it with a 1 atom thick layer
OMFG-OSH! i would say oil or something that's thick <--- lol THICK HE HE HEEE!
but to get to the point it'll be a hot substance that's oily or something in that manner.... hope i was a big help XD
Viscosity is attributed to the cohesion of a liquid. Cohesion is the attraction between like molecules. This attraction comes from the type of bonds the molecule has. The three types are hydrogen bond, dipole force, and London forces.
Hydrogen bond- strongest type of intermolecular bond. Results from an O-H, N-H, of F-H bond. This is because the pulls are so strong by Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Fluorine on Hydrogen that it creates an almost ionic bond.
Dipole forces- next strongest type of IMF. results from unequal sharing in a bond.
London forces- weakest type of IMF. results from slight polarization in otherwise nonpolar molecules.
If the substance has weak intermolecular forces such as dipole-dipole or London dispersion it will have a low viscosity.

How does temorature affect viscosity?
Yes. Higher Temperature= Low viscosity Lower Temperature=High viscosity
Is flammability a property of matter?
The flammability of a substance is a chemical property. Flammability means how easily a substance will burn in oxygen.
How does a thickness of a fluid compare to its viscosity?
The more thick the substance is, the higher the viscosity.
How well a substance flows at a given temperature?
The ability of a substance to flow at a given temperature is it's viscosity. Water is not very viscus at room temperature and flows easily for example.
What has Low density and high viscosity?
honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah. honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah.
What does it mean to have highest viscosity?
Having the highest viscosity means that a substance is very resistant to flowing. It is thick, sticky, and resistant to movement. Substances with high viscosity require more force to move them.
What is the opposite of viscosity?
The opposite of viscosity is fluidity. It refers to how easily a substance flows or moves. A substance with low viscosity is more fluid and flows easily, while a substance with high viscosity is thick and does not flow easily.
How do you increase viscosity of a substance?
Lowering the temperature the viscosity is higher.
If a substance pours slowly it has a high?
viscosity
How does temorature affect viscosity?
Yes. Higher Temperature= Low viscosity Lower Temperature=High viscosity
What is the difference between fluidity and viscosity?
Fluidity refers to how easily a substance flows, while viscosity refers to a substance's resistance to flow. Fluidity describes how freely a substance moves, whereas viscosity describes how thick or sticky a substance is. Materials with low viscosity flow easily, while those with high viscosity resist flow.
A substance that pours very slowly has a high what?
A substance that pours very slowly has a high viscosity. This means that the substance has a high resistance to flow and does not easily change shape.
When you heat a substance how does it affect its viscosity?

What substance has the lowest viscosity?
Helium gas has the lowest viscosity among substances at room temperature and pressure.
How is viscosity related to flow rate?
Viscosity is a substances resistance to flow. So as the viscosity of a substance increases, the flow rate will decrease.
Is it true or false the chemical property viscosity describes a substance like honey's resistance to flowing?
True. Viscosity refers to the "state of being thick/sticky" (taken from dictionary). So it could be described as a substance like honey's resistance to flowing. Honey is high in viscosity, water is low. So the 'stickier' the substance, the higher in viscosity.
How could you change the viscosity of the substances?
You can change the viscosity of a substance by adjusting its temperature- generally, increasing temperature decreases viscosity and vice versa. You can also alter the composition of the substance by adding viscosity modifiers or solvents to increase or decrease viscosity accordingly. Mixing different substances together can also affect the overall viscosity of the mixture.
