Arild,
Not so at all!!!! If it was, why do our wood, metal and fiberglass boats still

Comment.
Looks like a nomenclature issue here.
If water can dissolve or corrode or absorb ions or molecules from another
substance I call that some sort of interaction. or "reaction" in layman's terms.
When water and oil are poured into a common container the two do not react with
each other.
Left alone they stay separate. In other words they do not react to each other.
Evidently the term reactive has a very different and possibly opposite meaning
to chemists.
Could someone please clarify the definition.
Arild
