If you use ice and two compounds, where the ice floats in compound A and sinks in compound B. The ice floats in compound A because the compound has a greater density than the ice' and sinks in compound B because the compound has a lesser density than the ice.
Scoria is a type of volcanic rock that is typically denser than water, so it will sink in water.
This depends on the density of this item: more denser than water-sink, less denser than water-float.
Octane is less dense than water, so it will float on the surface of water.
Promethium sink in water because is more dense.
Float
Things sink if they are heavy and push the water down, and float if they are light and let the water hold them up like a balloon.
Some things float or sink in water due to their density. Objects that are less dense than water will float, while objects that are more dense will sink. This is because the buoyant force acting on an object in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object.
Whether things float or sink this depend only on the density , the density of the salt water is aprox. 1030 kilogram per meter cube so if you but things have density less than that they will float , things with higher density sink.
it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
Arsenic is denser than water, so it will sink in pure water.
Some things float on water because they are less dense than water, creating buoyancy that allows them to stay afloat. Other things sink in water because they are denser than water, causing them to displace water and sink. Factors like shape, size, and weight can also affect whether something will float or sink in water.
A fork will sink in water, as it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will sink or float in water.

Float.
Asphalt is denser than water and will sink in water rather than float.
Hmmm. Canned/Tinned fruit will most certainly sink. Most fruits straight off from the tree will float. However, if the fruits are not ripe, they might sink as they are very dense. A coconut will most certainly float. A packet of biscuits (unopened) will float for a long time. Oatmeal flakes will float for a while, then sink to the bottom. Potatoes and carrots will sink. Lettuce and cabbage will float Regards.
Its density.If a substance is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense, then it will float.(The surface tension of water also contributes slightly to this.)
