Abstract
In the present paper, the nature of the fragility of liquids with a developed H-bond network is investigated. It is shown that the effective activation energy of the shear viscosity and the fragility parameter defined as are immediately connected with the average number of the H-bond per molecule. The consistency of the macroscopic and the microscopic [, where ] definitions of the fragility is established.
