    Orange juice has a lower viscosity than chocolate syrup.

    Explanation:

    Viscosity is the measure we use to determine essentially how thick a fluid is. So, a liquid that has a high viscosity, is thicker than a liquid that has a lower viscosity. Viscosity is also benchmarked against that of water since water is considered to he the least viscous fluid. Therefore, the more "watery" the substance, the less viscous it is.

    Its easy to imagine how orange juice would have a lower viscosity. When we imagine, we think about how quickly both orange juice and chocolate syrup would flow if they both were to be spilled. Basically, we would be looking at their "flow rate" where orange juice would wash away quickly while chocolate syrup would tend to stick to the surface and be slower. But lets also look why this happens. This happens because of the size of the particles. Orange juice is diluted and has a lot of water molecules which are small and can move very quickly. Chocolate syrup on the other hand is comprised of molecules that are larger and heavier and therefore take a longer time to move. So a liquid with lower viscosity is "less resistant to flow".
