Rubber bands typically float on water because they are less dense than water. However, if the rubber band is tangled with another object or has absorbed some water, it may sink.
Rubber bands float or sink based on their density compared to water. If a rubber band is less dense than water, it will float. However, if it is more dense than water, it will sink. This can vary depending on factors like the size and shape of the rubber band.
The wonder and awe of observing that particular phenomenon has so far eluded me, but I can still state with some assurance that if a rubber band indeed sinks, then its density must be greater than the density of the fluid into which it has been placed.
Rubber has a lower density compared to oil, which causes it to float on the surface of the oil. This difference in density results in a buoyant force that pushes the rubber to float rather than sink.
Rubber typically floats in saltwater due to its low density. The buoyant force acting on the rubber is greater than its weight, causing it to float.
Objects that are denser than water will sink, such as rocks, metal objects, and certain types of wood. Objects that are less dense than water will float, such as plastic bottles, rubber ducks, and foam.

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.

Rubber bands float for the same reason that anything floats. It has a density less than the liquid in which it is placed.

i don't know... That's why I'm asking you. soo.. Does a rubber stopper float in water?
Whether an object sinks or floats depends on the objects buyoncy. If an object has a higher buoyancy then water it will generally sink, and less it will float.
no, a car tire will sink immediately after hitting the surface. The density of the rubber disallows the tire from floating.
Objects that are denser than water will sink, such as rocks, metal objects, and certain types of wood. Objects that are less dense than water will float, such as plastic bottles, rubber ducks, and foam.
Yes, rubber bands are made out of rubber.(:
