Wettability is the ability of a liquid to maintain contact with a solid surface, influenced by the intermolecular interactions between the liquid and the surface. It plays a critical role in various fields such as oil recovery, painting, and the development of water-repellent materials.

Intermolecular interactions are forces that mediate attraction or repulsion between molecules, influencing their physical properties and behaviors. These interactions are crucial for understanding phenomena such as boiling and melting points, solubility, and the structure and function of complex biological molecules.
