Yes, they do. However, it depends on how densely packed the atoms are. If the atoms are, for example, part of a solid that has a higher density than air, then it will stay put on the ground. However, if it is part of an object of matter that has a lower density than air, then yes, it will start floating.

What causes thing to float in the ocean water?

Atoms like oxygen and hileum like a water bottle floating but only when it has oxygen in it. If you crushed the bottle it will have less oxygen making it not float but not all atoms make things float. Also your welcome if it helped.


What is delocalised electron?

Delocalisation is when electrons are not associated with one atom but are spread over several atoms. So the electrons are not directly bonded with any atoms but effectively 'float' above and below the molecule in electron clouds.


Why do some things float?

They are less dense than water. More dense things sink. Density refers to how tightly the atoms are packed.


Do humans have less density than water?

It depends on how your form is in the water. If you lie flat on your back, the atoms inside of you are evend out and allow you to float. But if you just stand in water, then of course your atoms are uneven, making your density heavier than waters. So you can say it all depends on the position of your atoms.

What is the difference between covalent bonds and metallic bond?

In a covalent bond, the electrons can be defined by the atoms they are shared between; specific atoms are bound to specific others. In metallic bonding, the nuclei "float" in a sea of electrons. the electrons here are shared by the mass as a whole, with no nuclei being bound to any specific other nuclei and no electrons bound to any particular atoms.


What determines if an object will sink or float in water?

If an object's density (how uch mass/molecules/atoms it has in any given volume) is more than that of water, than it sinks; less, then it floats.
