An egg is one such thing.
An egg will sink in fresh water. Salt water is denser than fresh water, which allows the egg to float.
eggs float better with water and salt but they do not float in just water
The egg should have its water or substance in the egg come out through the cell membrane. :)
Fresh eggs float in salt water because the density of salt water is more than the density of the egg. But fresh eggs do not float in fresh water because the density of water is less than that of the egg. Salt increases the density of water.
Eggs float in salt water but not in tap water, which is a fresh water. This is because salt water is more dense than fresh water.

There is an small air space in eggs. The space is too small to let the egg float in fresh water. An addled egg may have formed enough gas, due to decomposition, to cause the egg to float.

The older an egg is the more likely it is to float. If it actually sits on the surface it may actually have gone bad.
no i dont think so
It depends on the age of the egg. An older egg is likely to float as the air bubble in the egg hows larger as the egg dries out. This used to be a test for separating fresh from old eggs in general stores. Even a fresh egg (even though it doesn't float) will orient itself bubble end up in a pan of water.
An egg will float in salt water because the salt makes it denser and allows the egg to stay near the surface. But in regular water it will sink straight to the bottom.
