Liquid: Increasing temperature generally decreases the viscosity of liquids. This is because as temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules also increases, causing them to move more freely and reducing the resistance to flow.

Gas: Increasing temperature generally decreases the viscosity of gases. This is because at higher temperatures, gas molecules move faster and have more kinetic energy, leading to decreased intermolecular forces and a decrease in viscosity.
