Answer:
It is easy to slip on a floor that is wet because there is less friction between your shoe/foot and the floor. Friction is basically when two parallel objects come in contact and form resistance. An effect of friction is the slowing down of velocity in the moving object aka your foot.

Answer:
When there is a spilled liquid making the floor wet, the water molecules hold tight. The bonding of two hydrogen atoms is what gives water surface tension. You might not realize it but these atoms have the ability to strongly bond to uneven porous surfaces. For example, when a diver falls flat in the water, it hurts.
