      because the outer electrons of its molecules attach to the outer electrons of our skin, and little droplets remain attached to the skin until they evaporate

      Being wet is something that all liquids are. Liquids are types of matter that have a fixed volume (they can’t be squashed or expanded) but not a fixed shape, they take on the shape of any container you put them in.
      Water is a chemical which is made up of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom. Water can be a solid which we call ice, a liquid or a gas, which we call water vapour.
      Water is only wet when it’s a liquid!
