Why Is Syrup Sticky?

The video explains why sugar and water aren't sticky on their own but become sticky when combined. It delves into the molecular properties of water and sugar, highlighting their charges that act like magnets. Water's small molecules allow it to flow easily, while sugar's larger molecules form solids. When sugar dissolves in water, it becomes sticky due to the interaction of sugar and water molecules. The video also compares syrup to glue, noting that both rely on molecular interactions to adhere to surfaces.
