Which statement best explains why heating a liquid affects its viscosity?

1.)the molecules move faster at higher temperatures and overcome attractions more easily.
2.)the molecules move faster at higher temperatures, and the attractions between them increase.
3.)the molecules move slower at higher temperatures and overcome attractions more easily.
4.)the molecules move slower at higher temperatures, and the attractions between them decrease.

I think the correct answer is option 1. Heating a liquid affects the viscosity of the liquid because molecules move faster at higher temperatures and overcome attractions more easily. Overcoming the attractions in the substance would decrease the viscosity of the liquid.

The correct option is this: THE MOLECULES MOVE FASTER AT HIGHER TEMPERATURE AND OVERCOME ATTRACTIONS MORE EASILY.

The viscosity of a liquid substance refers to its tendency to resist flow as a result of the interactions between the molecules of the liquid. The stronger the molecular attraction between the molecules of the liquid the higher the viscosity. When heat is applied to a viscous liquid, its temperature increases and the force of attraction between the molecules becomes broken.
