Why is water wet because it is made out of a gas and how does that make a liquid?

Answer 1

Water is wet because it is made up of a substance that feels moist when touched.

AnswerBelieve it or not but water is a bit sticky. All fluids have what we call surface tension, a tendency to stick to things even itself. You have probably notice how little objects can be stuck to the surface of water and not sink. Certain insects walk on water using this phenomina. So when you get water on yourself it kind of sticks to you. You can't shake it off, you have it wipe it away or evaporate it.

______

water is wet simply because the average temperature of earth promotes/preserves it to be liquid. If earth is the distance of Pluto or Mercury then water here on earth would be ice or vapor then water would not be wet...you get it?

______

that gas to liquid problem of yours is something they call precipitation...

most elements and compounds undergoes that process too. it has something to do with their Atomic Mass, temperature, and other physical disturbances.

Answer 2

Water is not supposed to be a gas. It is a liquid (at room temperature) because that is what its chemistry, and, as an extension of that, its physical properties, dictate. Water, sometimes called the universal solvent, is what it is. And it can be solid below zero degrees Celsius, liquid between there and one hundred degrees Celsius, and a gas beyond that (at standard pressure). If this question arises in a science class, it may be a way to begin to discover what hydrogen bonds are. And the concept of hydrogen bonding is critical to understanding what water is and how it does what we see it doing. With a deeper understanding of the chemistry of water and of atomic structure in general, this may make more sense. Continue to investigate.

Answer 3

When you react two elements to form a compound, the compound's properties are not some kind of "average" of the properties of the elements, but a new and unique set belonging to that particular compound.

Answer 4

Water molecules, just like all other molecules, come in three forms- solid, liquid, and gas, The solid form is ice, the liquid form is water, and the gas form is steam. The form of the water is determined by how close the individual H20 molecules are. Close together, they are ice; farther apart, they are water; and the farthest apart, they are steam.

Answer 5

the answer is simple. when two different elements combine the resulting compound has a completely different chemical structure. for example when chloride and sodium ,which on their own both are poisonous, combine to make table salt. also when two elements combine it makes the boiling point higher thus allowing water to be a liquid at room temperature and up to 212 Fahrenheit.
