    "As for the wetness of H2O, from its chemical properties, the hydrogen bond, and the 104-degree angle at which the two hydrogen atoms orient as each shares an electron with the single oxygen atom, we could predict that if there were enough H2O molecules present, we would find the properties of what we refer to as wetness."
