Substances float on top of others based on their densities. When two or more substances are layered, the one with the lower density will float above the one with a higher density. This is governed by Archimedes' principle, which states that an object will float if it displaces a volume of fluid equal to its weight. Consequently, substances with different densities will stratify, with less dense substances on top.
What else can I help you with?
If substances of different densities were layered on top of each other the less dense will be on the top or bottom?
if they are all fluids than the less dense will be on the top and the most dense on the bottom but if there are solids than the solids will be in the order you put them in.
How do you explain the phrase like dissolves like in terms of polar and nonpolar substances?
Polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve other nonpolar substances. A polar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance and a nonpolar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance.
What properties of a substance determines how that substances will react when combined with other substances?
The chemical structure of a substance, the presence of functional groups, and its reactivity are key factors that determine how a substance will react when combined with other substances. Additionally, factors such as polarity, acidity, and basicity also play a role in interactions between substances.
What substance is mixed evenly with other substances?
A solution.

How do you explain the phrase like dissolves like in terms of polar and nonpolar substances?
Polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve other nonpolar substances. A polar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance and a nonpolar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance.
What do you mean when you say a substance is insoluble in other substances?
It means that a substance cannot dissolve in other substance
What drinkable drinks float on each other?
Layered drinks, such as the popular cocktail "Pousse-cafe", can involve different drinkable liquids that float on each other due to differences in density. For example, Irish cream can float on top of coffee liqueur, which can float on top of a base spirit like vodka. Density and careful pouring technique are key in creating these visually appealing layered cocktails.

What other substances will make an egg float?
An egg will float in anything with a density greater than an egg.
How would you define hydrophobic substance?
All substances that are water repelling are considered hydrophobic substances. Ex: Oil, Waxes, etc..

Why does a icebreg float?
water is the only substance on earth where its density is HIGHER when liquid, and LOWER when solid. a substance will float on top of another if its density is lower than the other substance. so because the ice has a LOWER density it will float on top of the water
