A cotton ball is thinly attached with lots if air between its fibers. It would be hard to find a liquid it doesn't float on, so the answer is yes to both.

Lipids in water?
Lipids are insoluble, so they will form a layer on top of the water, much like when oil from a spillage will float above the water's surface, as it is less dense than the water. They will not dissolve.
Why oil does not mix with water?
Water has a polar molecule, while oil has a non-polar molecule. Because of this, oil and water are immiscible.
Water and nonpolar molecules do not easliy mix?
Water and oil doesn't mix because the water is a polar molecule and oil is a non-polar molecule. There will always be more molecules of water than oil.
What type of molecules interact with water polar or nonpolar?
Polar. Just think of this, oil is non polar, oil doesnt mix with water.
Is oil amphiphilic?
No! Hydrophilic means it is water soluable. Oil (fat) is not soluable in water, so is hydrophobic.
Will a cotton ball float on oil and water?
Yes it will float until it is less denser than oil and water. But just after increasing its density by absorbing enough water or oil it will start sinking.
Does a ball float in water higher than in oil?
No, a ball will float higher in oil than in water because the density of oil is lower than that of water. The buoyant force experienced by the ball in oil is greater, causing it to float higher.
An object floats when its density is?
It depends on what you want to float it on. For instance if you want to float a ball in oil the ball's density must be less than the oil's density.
Do oil sink or float in water?
Float.
Is USP mineral oil soluble in water?
No, it is not. Oil and water do not mix. If you pour oil into water, the oil will float to the surface. If you pour water into oil, the water will sink to the bottom and the oil will float on top.
Will crude oil float on water or sink?
Most (but not all) oil is less dense than water. That oil which is less dense than water will float. That oil which is denser than water will sink.
Does rubber ball float on oil?
it will, unless the specific gravity of the ball is greater that the oil, if it is, it will sink. But I doubt that it is
Why does oil and gas float on water?
Oil and gas are less dense than water therefore will separate and float.
Will vinegar float in oil?
No. Oil will float on vinegar as vinegar has the same density as water.
What objects float in water oil and syrup?
oil
What substances will float in water?
oil
When a ocean spills why does the oil float on water?
Oil is lighter than water.
