        Water makes other water wet. If you have a single water molecule then it is not wet, as it has no other water to make it wet. Otherwise water, as a grouping of multiple adjacent molecules, makes itself wet.

          But is a surface covered with liquid gallium also considered wetted? Or liquid bromine? All I know is oil oils things, and cannot easily be made wet.
