How is density related to floating or sinkingin water?

water's density is defined as 1g/mL. if something is more dense then it will sink due to the fact that it weighs more per volume. if something is less dense then it will float because it weighs less per volume than water. Speaking in terms of atoms, if it is more dense than the molecules are closer together and can push the water molecules out of the way (so it goes to the bottom), but less dense the water molecules push against the less dense molecules causing them to rise.
