Is water wet?

Is water wet? Yes or No. And why?

 

[Soyuxin]

No, liquid water itself is not wet, it makes other objectives wet because the liquid sticks on the surface - what we describe as wet.

Oldest beginner question in any chemistry course I think.

 

[Ktwulph]

Ah but that would depend on how what you classify as water. Is water H2O?

No, liquid water itself is not wet, it makes other objectives wet because the liquid sticks on the surface - what we describe as wet.

Is dry ice wet?

Water is not wet. It wets other things. And dry ice is not wet. It is sublime.

Since the concept of being "wet" is an observation due to a liquid stimuli wouldn't that mean for something to be "wet it must be touched by something to recognize that it is wet? In other words since water is not conscious like we are it cant be wet until we (the conscious) touch it.

The body composition of German Shepherds may have very high levels of water because they get a lot of people wet.
