I really can't understand what you're trying to ask, but I suspect the answer is "no". Far from "push[ing] away from each other", water molecules have a considerable affinity for each other; it's one of the reasons the boiling point of water is so high for its molar mass. (Dihydrogen sulfide, where the oxygen in water is replaced with the next heavier chalcogen, is a gas at room temperature.)

Water molecules have slight polarity, which causes them to have associative binding properties, which is a sub-electronic attraction. The water associations are responsible for the "element" clinging and holding together, as a definable substance with characterizable physical and chemical properties.

Are the molecules in water close to each other?
The molecules in water are closer to each other than those of water vapor, but farther away from each other than those of ice.
Why are liquid molecules away from each other?
Due to weak secondary forces between molecules...
Why do large groups of sugar molecules break apart in water?
when sugar dissolves in water the sugar molecules are more attracted-to the water than each other.the molecules-break apart from each other and water molecules surround them.
What intermolecular force attracts two nonpolar molecules to each other?
Molecules will always attract each other unless they are negative. In which case tthey will push each other away.
What is the significant force that attracts water molecules polar molecules to each other?
hydrogen bonding
Are the molecules in water close to each other?
The molecules in water are closer to each other than those of water vapor, but farther away from each other than those of ice.
Does a gas or liquid heat that its molecules move away from each other?
gas heats up and then the molecules spread away from each other, NOT liquid!
What is the process in which water molecules move away from each other to become whater vapor?
Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air.
What is the relationship between oil and water?
The relationship is that they do not mix. The molecules in water are attracted to each other and will not mix with the oil molecules which are also attracted to each other and therefore will not mix with the water molecules
What intermolecular force attracts to nonpolar molecules to each other?
Molecules will always attract each other unless they are negative. In which case tthey will push each other away.
When a gas or liquid is heated its molecules move away from each other?
Gases expand as they are heated, as do nearly all liquids. In the course of expansion, the molecules move away from each other.
Why are liquid molecules away from each other?
Due to weak secondary forces between molecules...
Why do large groups of sugar molecules break apart in water?
when sugar dissolves in water the sugar molecules are more attracted-to the water than each other.the molecules-break apart from each other and water molecules surround them.
What is the type of reaction of soap and water removing oil or fat from object?
the rule of thumb for liquids is that liquids with polar molecules (water, vinegar) will mix with each other, and liquids with non-polar molecules (oil, grease, ) will mix with each other but they will not mix with each other. soap is made up of long chain molecules which are polar at one end and non-polar at the other, so they bridge the gap and bond up with a water molecule at one end and an oil molecule at the other allowing the oil molecules to be washed away with the water.
How does the hydrogen bonding between water molecules affect the properties of water?
It enables water molecules to stick to each other and to many other things.
How does Cohesion cause water to stick together?
cohesion is when molecules of a certain similar kind (in this case water molecules) are more attracted to each other than to those of other substances. Water molecules are strongly cohesive as each molecule may make four hydrogen bonds to other water molecules.
What intermolecular force attracts two nonpolar molecules to each other?
Molecules will always attract each other unless they are negative. In which case tthey will push each other away.
