No. Water is a molecular compound. It is a polar molecule, in which the oxygen end of the molecule has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end of the molecule has a partial positive charge. Despite the partial charges, water is not an ion.

The ion hydronium is (H3O)+.
Why is the hydration of an ion always negative?
The hydration of an ion is always negative. This is because ion and water attractions are only formed when the ion is surrounded by water, deeming it negatively charged.

when a water molecule gains an hydrogen ion from another water molecule
What happens to the hydroxide ion concentration in water when a base is added?
A base added to water will increase the hydroxide ion concentration.
What type of ion does a base contain?
1} A base if vdissolved in water will show the presence of OH- ion 2}a base if it is an oxide of a metal will show the presence of an O-- ion in fused state 3} if we are studying bases like the soda amide which is used in organic reactions then the ion it will form when dissolved in water will be again OH- ion NaNH2 +H2O------->NaOH+NH3, NaOH------>Na+ + OH- 4} NH3 is also a base but it has an e- pair on N which it donates to H+ when dissolved in water and forms NH4+ ion the H+ ion will be present in weakly dissociated water as water generally contains some salts in the natural state and that accounts for the slight dissociation of water
