it floats because the xenon gas particles are heavier that the aluminum foil's.
Aluminum foil boats float due to the principle of buoyancy. When the boat is placed in water, the upward force of buoyancy is greater than the weight of the boat, allowing it to stay afloat. The shape of the boat helps displace enough water to create this upward force.
The aluminum foil is less dense than the water which makesit float. Aluminum foil is not less dense than water. It is more dense. The reason that aluminum foil floats is that the surface tension of the water will hold the sheet of foil. If you still think that the aluminum foil is less dense than water, try floating a roll of foil in a bucket.
A thin aluminum foil can float on water if placed carefully flat on the surface because of the surface tension of water. If you were to submerge it, the foil will sink.
A thin aluminum foil, (which is denser than water) could float on the surface if carefully placed, by virtue of the surface tension of water. But if submerged, the foil would sink due to its higher density. Generally speaking, a denser substance will sink in a less dense substance. Assuming standard temperatures, since aluminum has a density of about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and water only has 1 gram per cc, aluminum would sink. (An aluminum boat would float because it displaces a greater mass of water than its own weight.)
No, aluminum foil is denser than air so it will not float on its own. It would require a strong updraft or force, such as being propelled by a fan or other means, to keep it suspended in the air.
Generally speaking, a denser substance will sink in a less dense substance. Assuming standard temperatures, since aluminum has a density of about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and water only has 1 gram per cc, aluminum would sink. A thin aluminum foil could float by virtue of the surface tension on water (but if submerged, will sink). An aluminum boat would float because it displaces a greater mass of water than its own weight. An aluminum block could also float on a liquid of higher density.
Yes, foil will float on oil. This is because aluminum foil is less dense than oil, allowing it to stay on the surface rather than sinking. However, the specific behavior can depend on the thickness and shape of the foil, as well as the type of oil.
Aluminum is element. Aluminum foil is made entirely of aluminum.
Aluminum foil is made of Aluminum, which is an element. So yes Aluminum foil is a element

Aluminum foil is made of aluminum metal.
A design with a wide base and tall walls is desirable for an aluminum foil boat. You want enough surface area supporting the pennies so they will keep floating and to not compromise that for wall height to keep water from enter your vessel.
