Detailed Solution

Glycerol contains three -OH groups per molecule, whereas ethylene glycol (1,2-dihydroxyethane) contains two. The amount of hydrogen bonding between molecules determines viscosity, and the more -OH bonds there are, the more hydrogen bonding can occur. As a result, glycerol is more viscous than glycol and alcohol.
