Is water a lubricant? If not why? Please answer fast... Tomorrow exam....

But water has high adhesive properties and hence it is not used as lubricant.
Adhesive properties can be observed when it forms concave meniscus with a glass or metal container. 

Answer 2

As a lubricant provides space between two parts to move properly.
