Water isn’t wet, it just makes things wet. The debate stems from arguments using the fallacy of division , believing that something true for the whole must also be true for all or some of its parts. People try to logically conclude that because water makes things wet, that it has to be wet it’s self. But it is a logical fallacy.
First, define "wet". Yes. In chemistry, "wet" means containing water, so yes. If you wanted to dry something you would use a dry towel, if you wanted to wet something you would use a wet liquid, therefore water is wet because it is something that can “wet” things. In my humble and non scientific opinion.
No, the definition of wet is when six or more H2O molecules are connected, forming a cage like molecular structure with little integrity. A single drop of water is exactly that. Therefore, that drop of water is wet, a cup of water is wetter, a pool of water is wetter, an entire ocean is even wetter, and your giant mom... ok you get the point
Yes. If something is burned, it had to have been burned prior. If it's happening now, it's called burning. The difference is that burned is both an adjective and a verb, while wet is exclusively an adjective. Ex. "It is burned" and "It is wet" both work, but only "It burned" works while "It wet" does not.
1. Fire is hot because you're absorbing energy from a bunch of extremely high-energy electons, protons, and atoms. Water is wet because it bonds to lots of stuff and is in the liquid state. It feels cool at room temperature because our body has more energy than the water does (water is at room temp, our bodies are at a temp set by ...
Water is not wet. If water makes other things wet but is not wet itself, then water would make all other water wet. Water therefore is wet. You have no idea what you've just done. A single water molecule is not wet but any water that’s touching water is wet. It is moiisty. It’s sticky why else do you wipe it off with a towel. light is not ...
A way of describing cultural information being shared. An element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation. In other news: water is wet. I have an idea, launch cooling missiles into the atmosphere, freeze the Earth, then force the last of ...
TheBlackDred. • 6 yr. ago. Nope. Water is not wet. Water has the ability to make non-liquid matter wet, but liquids themselves are not wet. Water is a liquid. Liquid is a state of matter. Other states include solid, plasma, and gas. The difference between states is mostly due to pressure and temperature.
Yes water is wet. According to surface phenomena a surface is completely wet if the contact angle of the liquid dropped on that surface is 0 degrees, i.e. the liquid spreads completely on the surface. On the other end, a surface is not wet if the contact angle of the liquid droplet is greater than 90 degrees.
Here is a Professor of Chemistry at UC-Berkeley explaining why water is wet. He says that wetness is caused by strong tetrahedral hydrogen bonding, not by electrostatic (aka ionic) bonding or physical compression. A shirt becomes wet because the space between fibers becomes saturated with water.
