Why is water wet ??

Question

why water is wet

Answer 1

so it can make the pretty flowers grow silly : )

Answer 2

Water is only wet after you break its surface tension and the water molecules start bonding to the substrate or material it is wetting. If a piece of paper is covered with grease, the surface tension won't be broken and the paper will remain dry. But if you add a soap or detergent to break the surface tension, the water molecules can start bonding to the paper.

Answer 3

There exists a very simple answer to your question: water (h2o) has two very important properties that create the existence of "wet". Water is naturally cohesive and adhesive, therefore when you are wet, water is adhering to you (or your clothes) and itself at the same time. Another characteristic of water that creates this situation is the fact that it is not viscous, therefore it gets everywhere, FAST!

Answer 4

Water is "wet" because of the sum of its physical properties:
1. It is adhesive-somewhat sticky. It tends to stay on things until wiped off.
2. It is cohesive. Water sticks to itself, meaning it tends to cover in a sheet (think of water on a clean glass).
3. Water is viscous. It is slightly "syrupy" meaning it is well-behaved as it pours or flows from a tap or pitcher.
4. Water is polar, meaning that the molecules readily dissolve other polar substances, including the salts and some of the lipids on your skin.

Answer 5

actually "wet" is just a word coined by people when they refer to what water feels like...so it's wet because people said it so

Answer 6

It's not wet, it's 1000% Soaked!!!

Answer 7

hydrogen and oxygen reacts to form water. in room temp it is always wet (liquid state). when the temp reaches zero degree it comes to solid state (i.e., ice). at the temp of 100, it vapourise (i.e., vapour).
