Discussion Is water wet?

I got wet... what are you thinking?

 

Water is a liquid ,
Thing can only get wet if they got drenched in liquid

But animal in heat can got wet too

 

You ppl need to remember that wet is an adjective, a noun and a verb.

Water is wet.

 

I know I get wet around water. It's inconvenient sometimes.

 

Water is wetting agent, it cannot wet.

 

Probably not applicable statement to a thing that produces the effect of being wet...why ask if water is wet if its entirety causes wetness

 

By that definition a single molecule of H2O isn't wet but a drop of water is because each molecule is covered by more of the same.

 

A perfect answer !

 

No, it’s 2 hydrogen molecules and an oxygen molecule formed by a hydrogen bond (someone correct me about the bonding if I’m wrong, it’s been a decade since I studied this crap)

 

Covalent bond .

 

Yes. Unless it's melting ice.
Dry ice is usually dry, if that's the ice you mean.

 

It's both.... Hydrogen bonds are a type of covalent bond...

 

Nope hydrogen bonds is between molecules .
Covalent bonds is between atoms .

 

Yes and no. If it's use as adj and verb, then no, if noun, then yes.. that's what I think. (Since wet, when used as noun, it's defined as something that makes things damp; when used as adj/verb, it's defined as something covered with water or other liquid)

 

Well water is made of H2O which means it is made up of a lot of 2H Atoms and 1O atom are combined, so if water can make something wet it automatically means the H2O are making each other wet!!!

-> water is making itself wet

Hydrogen bonding can occur between atoms and molecules, apparently.

 

Yes but I can understand the reason why people saying NO.

1. Water will always be wet but we simply don't state that became it always in that state and has become a norm. Water will always be touching something in the known environment, whether it a cup or sea, air it is in touch with some atoms of NOT WATER. The only difference is the amount of water involved be wet is just a state of covered or saturated with water or another liquid.

 

Well , these atoms are on a different molecule so it counts as a molecular bond too .

 

Between atoms of the same molecule <.< (I forgot this too, don't push my limited wikipedia reading too hard!!!)

 

I'll just leave this here:
