Answer:

It is called viscosity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Viscosity is defined as the measure of the resistance that a liquid has to flow when a force is applied to it, this is due to the friction between the molecules that will be much greater when the viscosity is higher. It can be said that viscosity is the measure of how a liquid moves fluid or resists movement. An example is honey, which has a high viscosity and resists movement fluxes of lower viscosity, such as water.
