No, gold can't float on water because the density of gold is greater than the density of water.

It depends on the density of the fluid and the shape of the gold. For example, a block of gold will sink in water but float in iridium, and a concave shape can float in water.

Silver is heavier than water, but if you shape it properly, into the form of a boat or boat-like object, it can still float.

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.
