Because our skin is made up of hydroscopic moleules. These molecules bind with water molecules on the molecular level and the nerve cells directly attached to the skin interpret this as "wet".

Since we define wet as the condition of being liquid or being covered in a liquid, and water at room temperature is a liquid, there you go.

Water is not wet. That is just how we describe it. Water H20 is just that, It is just a combination of those elements. In the liquid form you it moves around and its form is that of its surroundings. In its water form H20 doens't retain its own shape and can fall away from other H20.

Did you ever do that thing in chem class where you sprinkle that powder (forget what it's called) across the surface of a tank of water then dunk your hand in and it comes out dry. Pretty funky.

because the chemical bonds aren't as strong in the water as in a solid but much stronger then in a gas and it's easy for them to get astray and cover a surface.

Because each H2O molecule forms up to 4 hydrogen bonds.

Water has 3 states - solid, LIQUID, and vapor..... only wet in it's liquid state actually......

It feels wet because its viscosity is low.

Because the molecules do not bond together.
