Does the element neon sink or float?

Answer 1

Water, under normal cirumstances, has a density of about 1 gran per cubic centimeter. Under normal circumstances, Neon has a density of a little over .9 grams a liter(1000 cubic centimeters). This means Neon is less dense. In this sense, if Neon were placed in water it would escape to the surface because it is a gas. However, it will not float on the surface.

Answer 2

Neon is a gas under normal circumstances. That means it has less density than water, if that is what you mean.

Answer 3

Neon is a gas, it floats very well in water, as do all gases. It bubbles to the top.

Answer 4

It sinks as it's heavier than Oxygen. There are only 3 elements that are gases at ordinary temperatures that are lighter than Oxygen: Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Helium.

Answer 6

neon is lighter, hence it will float
