This depends what you put it in. If you put platinum in water it will sink. Water has a density of 1 g/mLwhereas platinum has a density of about 21 g/mL. Substances that are more dense than the liquid it is submerged in will sink.
Arsenic is denser than water, so it will sink in pure water.
Plutonium is a dense metal and will sink in water due to its high density.
Yes and no. Rubber bands can float and sink in water. They will float on the water for awhile and then will sink. But not all the time the rubber bands will float on the water for awhile. Sometimes it will immediately sink.
A short piece may be supported by the surface tension of water, but a coil of copper wire would sink.
Sink or float... on what? - The general rule is that an object will float if it has less density than the fluid (gas or liquid) in which it is placed.
No, a piece of platinum will not float on gasoline. Platinum is a dense metal with a high specific gravity, which means it will sink in liquids that are less dense than itself, such as gasoline. Since platinum is significantly denser than gasoline, it will submerge rather than float.
No, platinum will not sink in mercury because platinum is denser than mercury. Platinum has a density of 21.45 g/cm³, whereas mercury has a density of 13.53 g/cm³. Objects sink in fluids when their density is greater than that of the fluid, so platinum would actually float on the surface of mercury.
it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
