water

[flct2004]

we all know that water feels, tastes etc... wet.

we also know that a water molecule is an oxygen molecule with a hydrogen molecule on either side like a little boomerang.
my question is this... what does either a hydrogen or water loecule feel like,, are they wet, dry or neither due to their incedibly small size ??? been bugging me for a time now.
any thoughts would be great, go easy as its my first post.
cheers andy.

The phenomenon of water feeling wet is a macroscopic one and relies on a huge number of hydrogen bonded water molecules. A single molecule would have no effect on a nerve so no sensation would be possible.

First of all, water is made up of a hydrogen ATOM with an oxygen ATOM on each side.

Secondly, both oxygen and hydrogen are colourless, odourless gases.

[Teddio]

A water molecule is a single oxygen atom covalently bonded to two hydrogen atoms in the form H-O-H with a bond angle of appooximately 105 degrees.

It's H2O gen2 not O2H!
