Wetting refers to the ability of a liquid to maintain contact with a solid surface, resulting from adhesive forces between the liquid and the solid. This phenomenon is particularly important in various fields such as chemistry, materials science, and biology. When a liquid is poured onto a solid surface, the extent to which the liquid spreads out or forms droplets depends on the balance between cohesive forces (the forces holding the liquid molecules together) and adhesive forces (the forces between the liquid molecules and the surface).
