An empty glass bottle with a sealed cap floats on water because the air trapped inside the bottle provides buoyancy. The air in the bottle is less dense than water, causing the bottle to float on the surface. The sealed cap prevents water from entering the bottle, maintaining its buoyancy.

Why can objects float?

Objects float if they displace more than their own mass. This means that if when they are put into a liquid the mass (weight) of the volume of the liquid that "has to get out of the way" is greater than the mass of the object, it will float.An empty glass bottle floats in water because the bottle is filled with air, yet the bottle's shape keeps water out and the mass of the volume of the displaced water exactly equals the mass of the bottle (and the air inside).

Why would a tightly closed empty water bottle crush itself?

This answer presumes that "empty" means the bottle has no water in it, but does have air in it.In this case the bottle would collapse (or partly collapse) if the temperature inside the bottle dropped to a lower temperature causing the air inside to shrink, or if the bottle was taken to a place of higher air pressure (such as taking the bottle from a mountain peak to the base of the mountain.The bottle would also collapse at some point of evacuation if "empty" means the bottle was evacuated of water and air. The point of collapse, in this case, would depend on the physical construction of the bottle - ie, whether it was made of steel, plastic or glass
