Silver is a dense metal with a density of 10.49 g/cm³, while water has a density of 1 g/cm³. Since silver is much denser than water, it will sink in water rather than float. However, if the silver is shaped into a thin enough sheet or foil, it may be able to float on the surface tension of the water, similar to how a paperclip can float on water.
What else can I help you with?
Does silver float?
No gold is more dense than water so it sinks and in the gold rush in Cali they paned underwater
Will silver float in Mercury?
Yes, silver would float in mercury because silver is less dense than mercury. This means that silver would displace an amount of mercury equal to its own weight, allowing it to float on top of the mercury.
Does octane sink or float in water?
Octane is less dense than water, so it will float on the surface of water.
Would a ride of solid silver sink or float in liquid silver?
sink
Can a egg can or can't float in water?
an egg can float in salt water.
Does silver float in water?
Yes
Does real silver sink?
yes generally silver will sink in water as it is denser than water. but if it is a thin sheet of silver it will not sink and will float on water

Why does metal NOT float on water?
If the proposal is to float the metal on water, most metals won't float. That's because most metals are more dense than water and will sink. Note that this proposition sets aside any reaction that might occur between the metal and water. This is because there are some metals that react with water, and some react violently. See the link below to the related question about the metals that will float on water. There aren't many of them. If the metal you are considering isn't on the list of metals that willfloat on water, then it won't.
Can jeremejevite float on water?
Jeremejevite does not float on water.
What are the results of can water float on water?
Yes, water can float on water. This is because of surface tension, which allows objects with a lower density than water to float on its surface. Items like boats or water bugs can float because of this phenomenon.
Why doesn't fish float on water?

Is tent can float in water?
There are tents designed to Float in water. But not all tents designed to float.
Will sand float in water will soil float in water?
Soil floats on water!
Will a styrofoam cup float or sink in water?
A styrofoam cup will float in water because styrofoam is less dense than water, causing it to displace water and float.
Will silver float or sink in water?
no gold does not float in water because it has a density higher than 1 which is the density for water. Therefore, it sinks.rofl
