Question

describe the trend in viscosity as you go down a homologous series

Marilyn Bob-Manuel 3ekt · Accepted Answer

viscosity increases down a homologous series as the longer chains become entangled, making it harder for the molecules to move past each other, and so they do not flow as freely as smaller molecules
