water is not wet, it makes thing wet
Water makes other water wet. If you have a single water molecule then it is not wet, as it has no other water to make it wet. Otherwise water, as a grouping of multiple adjacent molecules, makes itself wet.
Water is in contact with itself, therefore water is wet
But is a surface covered with liquid gallium also considered wetted? Or liquid bromine? All I know is oil oils things, and cannot easily be made wet.
