Anything touches water becomes wet because water is wet.
Anything touches water becomes wet because water is wet.
What if i pour water on an ice cube
I mean water itself isn�t wet but it�s is wet lmao
No water is water
Is fire dry?
No, water is not wet. Something becomes wet when it gets water on it, but if you put water on water then just have more water.
how much water are we talking about here
A fish is water is dry, once hits air, wet
water is not wet I agree, it is what is covered with water that is wet
Water makes things wet but water itself is not wet.
Honestly I stay up st night wondering this
water is not wet but when something comes contact with it then that corresponding thing will become wet
Being a liquid, water is not itself wet, but can make other solid materials wet.
Wetness 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 the liquid is sticking to the surface of a material.
Whether an object is wet or dry depends on a balance between cohesive and adhesive forces. Cohesive forces are attractive forces within the liquid that cause the molecules in the liquid to prefer to stick together. Cohesive forces are also responsible for surface tension. If the cohesive forces are very strong, then the liquid molecules really like to stay close together and they won't spread out on the surface of an object very much. On the contrary, adhesive forces are the attractive forces between the liquid and the surface of the material. If the adhesive forces are strong, then the liquid will try and spread out onto the surface as much as possible. 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 bead-up into a spherical drop and tries to minimize the contact with the surface.
Water actually has pretty high cohesive forces due to hydrogen bonding, and so is not as good at wetting surfaces as some liquids such as acetone or alcohols. However, water does wet certain surfaces like glass for example. Adding detergents can make water better at wetting by lowering the cohesive forces . Water resistant materials such as Gore-tex fabric is made of material that is hydrophobic (water repellent) and so the cohesive forces within the water (liquid-liquid) are much stronger than the adhesive force (liquid-solid) and water tends to bead-up on the outside of the material and you stay dry.
A single water molecule is not wet. But if you're talking about whether or not a group of water molecules are wet, then yes. Wet just means that whatever the object or medium is, it's covered with or saturated with water. As such, given how water molecules form covalent bonds with one another, it could be reasonable to assume that a group of water molecules wet each other
