Why is a hot water burn worse than a metal burn at the same temperature?
Part of it has to do with the difference in specific heat(the measure of the heat energy required to increase the temperature of a unit quantity of a substance by a certain temperature interval), where water has a specific heat that is typically much higher than a given metal. Another part has to do with the fact that water is a liquid, meaning it can flow, and its adhesive(attraction between unlike molecules) properties that cause it to stick to your skin. So, the hot water stores more energy than the metal at the same temperature, and touching it causes it to stick to you, unlike metal which one can typically pull away from. These factors lead to a worse burn
