Water is a wetting liquid but Mercury is non wetting so not the all liquid are wetting it depends upon Adhesive and cohesive forces , the liquids having strong adhesive force than cohesive become absorbed on a solid surface and that surface becomes wet but the liquids having strong cohesive force can not absorbed on a solid surface so material remains dry and such liquids are non wetting liquids as Mercury, so water is wetting liquid due to its strong adhesive force.
