Hydrogen monoxide.
If it sinks in water then it has a higher density than water. If it floats on water surface then its density is less than water.
Some folks in the lab call it "spee gee" which is slang for specific gravity (SG). It's relative density, the density of liquid - or any given substance - to the density of water. Surf the link. The formula for density is D= Mass/Volume.
Calculate the volume of the substance by measuring the length, width and height. The formula looks like this: Volume = L (length) x W (width) x H (height). Determine if the object or substance is irregularly shaped. If so, you can determine the volume by finding out how much water is displaced when the object is dropped into a beaker of water. Calculate the density once you know the volume and mass of the substance or object. Density is equal to the mass of the substance divided by its volume: D (density) = M (mass) / V (volume).
A substance with density equal to 2.1 gcm3 it's sinking in water.
A substance with a density of 1.3gcm-3 would sink in water. Float (APEX)

It depends on the units you are using for density.Typically, water is thought to have a density of "1" at 4 degrees Celcius. But that is assuming you are using (g/cm3) as your units.Density of water is dependent upon other factors such as impurities in the water as well.
The relative density of a substance is defined as the ratio of density of any substance to the density of water at 4 degree celcius.Formula=Density of any substance/Density of water at 4 degree celcius.
Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water.
because the density is lower than water.

The relative density of a substance is the ratio of its density to the density of some standard substance. The standard substance for solids and liquids is water. Thus for solids or liquids: Relative density = denisty of substance (kg/m3) / density of water (kg/m3) Relative density therefore has no units, it is a number, and indicates only how many times more dense the substance is than water. The relative density of water is 1 or 1000 kg/m3.
