Ions and Water
Ions do not repel water. In fact, they actually attract water molecules.
When an ionic compound like salt (sodium chloride) dissolves in water:
Positive Ions:
The positive sodium ions (Na+) are attracted to the negative oxygen end of the water molecules.
Negative Ions:
The negative chloride ions (Cl-) are attracted to the positive hydrogen ends of the water molecules.
This attraction between the ions and water molecules is called hydration. The ions become surrounded by water, which helps them break apart and go into solution.
So in simple terms, ions are attracted to and interact with water, rather than repelling it. The hydration of ions is an important part of how they dissolve in water.
Like-charged ions repel each other. Opposite-charged ions attract each other.
Assuming you're talking about a solution in water, the answer is yes. However, don't think that each ion is always surrounded by a fixed number of water molecules in this case. In a liquid solution, the ions and water molecules are all in constant motion. One thing you can be pretty sure about is that ions of the same electrical charge will tend to keep away from one another, whereas the opposite charged ions attract each other. In the solution, water molecules are always in between the ions.
Some examples of liquids that repel water include oil, alcohol, and liquid wax. These substances have non-polar molecular structures, which causes them to repel water due to differences in their polarity.
When an acid dissolves in water hydrogen ions bond with water to form hydronium ions, H3O+ When bases dissolve in water, hydroxide ions are formed, OH-

No, when an ionic solid mixes with water, the ions attract water molecules due to ion-dipole interactions. The water molecules surround the ions, forming a hydration shell, and help to solvate the ions in solution.
Like-charged ions repel each other. Opposite-charged ions attract each other.
Yes, hydrophobic substances repel water.
Water and oil repel each other.

Olive oil, and other oils, is a member of the lipid family. Lipids also include fats and waxes. Lipids are hydrophobic. That is a fancy word for saying they don't mix with water. Lipids are made by covalent bonds that repel the ions in water. The membranes around your cells are made of fat so that the water on the inside and outside will repel it thus creating a wall.

H2O (water) is used to repel heat.
The charge of the cell would repel similar charged ions and attract opposite charged ions. For example, if a cell is positively charged, it would repel positive ions and attract negative ions
If the water is pure, it will contain H3O+ ions and OH- ions. They are hydronium ions and hydroxyl ions.
Ions of water are H+ and OH-.
The ability to repel water is known as hydrophobicity. It is a property of certain materials that causes them to repel water molecules, causing water to bead up and roll off the surface rather than soaking in. This property is often utilized in coatings, fabrics, and other products to make them water-resistant.
