Generally YES!!!
However, that statement 'ionized atoms' is questioned.
An ATOM has a neutral charge; the number of protons and electrons are equal.
An ION has a charge; the number of protons and electrons is unequal.
A positively charged ion (M^+) is named a CATION, and a negatively charged ion (X^-) is named an ANION. Collectively they are IONS.
e.g. Taking Sodium as an example, it has 11 protons and 11 electrons in the neutrally charge atom. However, it readily ionizes to form the CATION (Na^+), which has 11 protons and 10 electrons. Known as 'the Sodium ion'.
Similarly, taking Chlorine as a second example, it has 17protons and 17 electrons in the neutrally charge atom. However, it readily accepts an electron to form the ANION (Cl^-), which has 17 protons and 18 electrons. Known as the 'Chloride ion'.

Are fish scales hydrophilic or hydrophobic?

Why hydrophilic proteins when placed in hydrophobic solvent their is denaturation of the proteins?
Hydrophilic molecules are repulsed by surrounding hydrophobic solvent. Hydrophilic tends to connect with hydrophilic, and hydrophobic with hydrophobic. If the protein as a part which is hydrophobic, then it will twist itself to accommodate those new connections, and when they change their form, they denature.
Is the phosphate group hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophobic
Why is a phospholipid both hydrophilic and hydrophobic?
They have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic heads. In a lipid bilayer, the hydrophilic head of the phospholipid faces the outside of the membrane while the hydrophobic head faces the the hydrophobic head of another phospholipid.
What are properties of hydrophobic and hydrophilic?
hydrophobic is water hating and hydrophilic is water loving ( attracts water).
