H bonds present between the h2o molecules creates surface tension greater than that present in other liquids.
Ice will float in ethanol because ice is less dense than ethanol. The density of ice is about 0.92 g/cm3, while the density of ethanol is about 0.79 g/cm3. This difference in density causes ice to float in ethanol.
Sulfur sinks in water because it is denser than water.
The density of rubbing alcohol is 75% that of water. Thus ice (frozen water which is roughly equal in density to liquid water), sinks in rubbing alcohol since it has more mass per cubic millimeter than the alcohol does. In order to float, the object would have to be less dense than the alcohol per cubic space.
No, not unless it is somehow shaped into a form that displaces less water than it's mass. Obsidian is volcanic glass, glass is much denser than water, therefore sinks.
No, solid metal typically sinks in molten metal due to its higher density. When a solid metal is placed on top of molten metal, it will usually sink until it reaches a point where its density is equal to that of the molten metal around it.
Depends on what they're dropped into. Water - no. But drop them into something that's denser than aluminium and they will float.

Ice will float in ethanol because ethanol has a lower density compared to water. When ice is placed in ethanol, the difference in density causes the ice to be less dense, and therefore float. This is different from water, where the ice is denser than the liquid water and sinks.
When it sinks.
Ice is less dense than water so it floats. ex. ice is more dense than ethanol so it sinks.
No, Fimo does not float in water. It is a type of polymer clay that is dense and sinks in water.
No, it sinks.
It sinks
No, it sinks.
Float
No, ironwood does not float. It is a dense and heavy type of wood that sinks in water.
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 than the aluminum.
