Any solid can be placed in a liquid. If the solid is less dense then it will float. If it is not soluble and its melting temperature is higher than the temperature of the liquid it will remain solid and not become part of a mixture. any solid can be converted into liquid except those which becomes sublimed.
anytime a substance changes it's molecular structure (solid to liquid, liquid to solid, liquid to gas, solid to gas, gas to liquid) it loses engergy.
Either a substance is a liquid, or it is a solid. It can't be both.If it's a solid, it's called a solid.
Solid iron will float in liquid Mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
The solid cannot float in this liquid.

Besides water, a substance in solid form is more dense. At the least dense substance floats, HN03 will not float in liquid HN03. ;)
Yes, provided you have the metal in a solid form which can be shaped so it will float, and a substance which it is liquid enough to float in at that temperature.
It sinks in the liquid. A steel bolt has a density greater that that of water. Drop it in water, it sinks.
That depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, the solid will sink. If the liquid is denser, the solid will float.
Mud is a solid not a liquid if you wanted to know :]
water is the only substance on earth where its density is HIGHER when liquid, and LOWER when solid. a substance will float on top of another if its density is lower than the other substance. so because the ice has a LOWER density it will float on top of the water
