This s a question my son brought from school. Seems easy, but according to definition of "wet" it is something that has been put into the water, but not the water itself...what do you think?
Dear Mirna,
May be you are right when saying that "wet" it is something that has been put into the water, but not the water itself.
Your question, however, can be see from a physical and chemical point of view.
1) When water becomes ice because it is subject to a low temperature, it remmins at the solid state and hence we cannot say that it is wet.
2) When ice water is subject to a higher temperature it becomes, say, water, and remains at the liquid state. In this state, we can say that water is something wet.
3) If ice water or wet water is suject to a higher temparature it becomes gaz and remain at the gazeous state. When this is the case we can also say that water is something wet.
I hope I had got your post and that this helps.
Kind regards,
Orlando
