Look at the density of each substance. Iron is less dense than Mercury, so yes, it will float.
Yes, some rocks can.
Mercury, the planet is a solid rocky body. Mercury, the element is a metal, liquid at room temperature.
Liquid mercury can conduct electricity, it's what makes mercury thermostats work. As for solid mercury, it conducts electricity in solid phase as all metals do.
Mercury is the only metal in the liquid state.
Mercury become a solid at -38,829 oC.
Solid, iron core
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
Solid iron will float in liquid Mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
periodic table
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
yes iron does float in water yes iron does float in water
there will be earthquake there will be earthquake
The clay boat (like a steel ship) displaces its own weight in the water. So, as long as the sides of the clay boat (or steel ship) is above the water level, it will float. A solid piece of clay will (like a stone) sink immediately.
Mercury is not a solid so it is nothing as a solid.
In a chart of various densities.
