Water molecules stick to each other because of hydrogen bonds.
98% confidence
Water molecules are made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. They attract each other strongly because of hydrogen bonds, which are weak electrical attractions. These bonds make water molecules cling together tightly, giving water its unique properties, like surface tension and the ability to spread thinly over surfaces. This helps water stick to things and makes the sensation of wetness possible.
