Contained air and density of water.
Why can a duck float on water but not air?
water is a liquid and the air is a lot less dense liquid. so the bouancies of the two are extremly diffrent. the shape of the duck that's above water weights enough to equal the bauncy of the water. the weight of the duck in air is more then the bouncy of the air

Why do rubber balls float?
Rubber ducks float because:They are made from a lightweight substance meaning upthrust from the water can counter-balance the downward force from the duck's weight.Their bottom has a large flat surface area, meaning the upthrust has a larger area to push against.They are filled with air, which is lighter and less dense than water, so it will naturally push upwards in water (think of when you blow bubbles underwater-the bubbles float upwards)Hope I helped :)
