Can aerogel float on radon?

Aerogel can potentially provide some insulation or buoyancy when used on top of radon gas, but the suitability of aerogel to fully support or float on radon gas would depend on various factors like the density and concentration of the radon gas. Generally, aerogel is very lightweight and has low density, which might make it (theoretically) possible for it to float on radon gas under certain conditions.
