Why do things float if there is more density in the water?

If the density of the unknown is more than the density of water , it will sink If the density of the unknown is less than the density of water, it will float. Things do not float unless their densities are below that of water which is 1.00 g/ml.


What is the density of PURE water in its liquid state?
