∙ 14y agoAir is composed mostly of nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide, the most common gasses that will "float in air" are hydrogen and helium (which is used in balloons), however, methane and ammonia also "float in air."

Why do noble gases in balloon float in air?
Noble gases are lighter than air. Hence balloons filled with noble gases will float in air.
Can sound float in salt water?
Sound is not a form of matter, not a material, not a substance and not a compound. So one can NOT say it is floating on what-so-ever.Sound are pressure-waves in gas (air) and all gases float on any liquid!
Does helium float or sink in air at room temperature?
Helium is lighter than air. So it will float in air.
If the egg floats is it a bad egg?
Yes, eggs are porous and as they age an air pocket forms in the eggs causing it to float. At the same time water vapor and gases are leaving the egg. This difference in mass will cause the egg to float.
Why do helium balloons fail to float?
Actually, they do float. They are lighter than air, so they are supposed to float.
Why do noble gases in balloon float in air?
Noble gases are lighter than air. Hence balloons filled with noble gases will float in air.
Why rate of diffusion in liquid is slower than in gases?
The rate of diffusion in liquids slower than that of gases because gases have low density and its float in the air.
Should your float?
They is air and gases in stool that's lighter than water,so stool in cold water may float.Dr loo
Is there existences of nutrient in gas form?
It all depends on the density of the nutrient . the nutrient would half to be at such a density to be able to float in the air as gases do.
What is the gas that will make us floats in air?
There is no gas that can make humans float in the air naturally. However, helium gas is lighter than air and can be used to fill balloons, causing them to float.
Why do fishes float when they die?
Well. I have seen it many times and i honestly came to a conclusion:The lungs fill with air as the fish (what ever type) passes. The lungs fill with air. Since they are the closest to the bottom of the fishes body, the body goes belly up.hope i helped!

What makes balloons float when they are full of air but not float when they are deflated?
When balloons float they have helium in it. Helium is not air, but a gas. It's lighter than air, which makes it float.
Does any train float on air?
No a train does not float in the air, no train does.
Why do things float in the air?
things float in air because of density
Why fresh egg sinks in water?
Though each egg contains a small air space, it is not usually big enough to act like a float, so the egg sinks. A bad egg will produce gases as the egg decomposes inside the shell. As these gases take on a larger volume, so the egg will float.
Why inside balloon is gas?
Its filled with gas because certain gases(Helium, Hydrogen) are lighter than air so they float. That's why the balloon floats.
