A gas will always have a lower density than its corresponding solid or liquid, and thus could not sink in its own liquid.

Gasses can, of course, be absorbed/dissolved into liquids.

One of the least dense liquids would be liquid hydrogen with a density of about 67.8 kg/m3

One of the densest gasses (at 1 ATM) is Radon Gas at about 9.73 kg/m3. Thus, it would still float in liquid hydrogen at 1 ATM.

However, the density of gasses is a function of the pressure and temperature, so at extreme pressures, Radon gas would likely sink in liquid hydrogen.

The density of the atmosphere at the surface of Venus is about 67 kg/m3, and thus it might sink in liquid hydrogen (ignoring, of course, the temperature and pressure differences).

gas fumes rise.

In general, a 'gas' will rise. But 'gasoline' fumes are heavier than air, so they sink. Of course they are 'fumes' so they will be easily circulated.

Why is carbin dioxide a bad thing to make?

Carbon dioxide is not necessarily a "bad" thing to make but when released into the atmosphere in excess of the biosphere's ability to "sink" it, is thought to contribute to global warming because it is a rather potent greenhouse gas.

Trying to make mothballs dance in a bicarb-vinegar mixture but why won't they sink?

the vinegar reacts with the bicarb n it creates gas bubbles which make the mothmalls 'dance' and not sink as the gas pushes them up. if tried with something heavier it would sink though

Does ammonia sink or float?

Sink or float... on what? - The general rule is that an object will float if it has less density than the fluid (gas or liquid) in which it is placed.
