The statement about “Viscosity is the tendency of a solid to melt to a liquid” is false. It is melting not viscosity. Viscosity is the tendency of how the fluids flow.

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature at which solid changes into liquid is known as the melting point.

Energy is required for a solid to melt into a liquid.

However viscosity is known as friction in liquids. It is the force that opposes movements in liquid. Viscosity causes liquids to be sticky. It is measured as a force per unit area.

As such, melting is the change from solid to liquid and not viscosity.

The answer is thus false.
