Water: a colorless, transparent, odorless liquid that forms the seas, lakes,rivers, and rain and is the basis of the fluids of living organisms .
Wet: liquid that makes something damp.
Water molecules: A molecule is a piece of matter that contains two or more atoms, there are millions of these molecules, in one drop of water. The form water takes depends on the movement of the water molecules.
Is it testable?
Water is the ability of a liquid to adhere to the surface of a solid, so when we say that something is wet, we mean that liquid is sticking to the surface of a material.
Water is NOT wet, because it is a liquid that wet things. Once you come into contact with water you become wet. Until then water is liquid and you are dry.
If we define “wet” as a sensation that we get when a liquid comes in contact with us, then yes, water is wet to us.
Water actually has pretty high cohesive forces due to hydrogen bonding, and so is not as good at wetting surfaces as same liquids such as acetone or alcohols.
So how wet a surface is depends on the balance between these two forces. If the adhesive forces (liquid-solid) are bigger than the cohesive forces (liquid-liquid) we say the material becomes wet, and the liquid tends to spread out to maximize contact with the surface. On the other hand, if the adhesive forces (liquid-solid) are smaller than the cohesive forces (liquid-liquid), we say the material is dry, and the liquid tends to head-up into a spherical drop and tries to minimize the contact with the surface.
So is water wet or not?
