If you place a solid in a liquid will ether sink?
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.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid it is placed?
The solid cannot float in this liquid.
Can iron float in any liquid?
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
Why does a dense object float in the Dead Sea?
An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
What solid substance will float easily in its liquid form?
Wax.
Does a lump of iron float?

Can you walk on water?
Walking on water is impossible, at least in its liquid form. It might be possible with "float shoes" or the like. It is possible to walk on solid water, and you've probably guessed that solid water is called ice.
How do you know whether something will float or sink?
It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas. If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1). Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float. It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)
Why is an ice cube able to float on liquid ice?
it's a solid
Can any kind of metal float?
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.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid?
It sinks in the liquid. A steel bolt has a density greater that that of water. Drop it in water, it sinks.
Would a ride of solid silver sink or float in liquid silver?
sink
