Why does sodium sink in water?

Sodium shouldn't sink in water at room temperature, because the density of sodium is less than the density of water. The density of sodium at room temperature is 0.968 g/cm3, whereas the density of water at room temperature is 0.998g/cm3. So technically, sodium should float in water, not sink.

Will atomic number 43 sink or float in water?

For something to be able to float on water, it requires a density lower than water. Water at room temperature has a density of 1 kg / L or 1000 g / dm3Atomic number 43 is the element Technetium. At room temperature Tc has a density of 11 g / dm3.So yes, it will float on water.


Does the object float or sink the higher the density?

The the object you speak of is in water at approximately room temperature, then anything with a density above about 1 will sink; anything below 1 will float and anything at very close will be suspended in the water. So, to answer your question, high density equals sinking.
