Fat droplets are hydrophobic, meaning they do not mix well with water due to their chemical composition. The hydrophobic nature of fats causes them to repel water molecules, leading them to clump together and float on the surface of water. This phenomenon is known as the immiscibility of fats and water.
Yes, bones are more dense than water, so they will sink rather than float.
No, cashews are denser than water, so they generally sink in water rather than float.
Selenite is a form of gypsum, a dense mineral that does not float in water. It is heavier than water, so it will sink rather than float.
No, plasticine is denser than water, so a plasticine ball will sink in water rather than float.
no because it isn't hollow and denser than water
Asphalt is denser than water and will sink in water rather than float.
Yes, bones are more dense than water, so they will sink rather than float.
No, cashews are denser than water, so they generally sink in water rather than float.
Selenite is a form of gypsum, a dense mineral that does not float in water. It is heavier than water, so it will sink rather than float.
Iodine is denser than water, so it will sink in a beaker of water rather than float.
No, plasticine is denser than water, so a plasticine ball will sink in water rather than float.
no because it isn't hollow and denser than water
No, glass sinks in water because it is denser than water. The density of glass is higher than that of water, causing it to sink rather than float.
No, carbon tetrachloride does not float on water because it is immiscible with, and heavier than water, and forms a lower layer.
No, bounce balls are typically made of rubber or plastic, so they are denser than water and will sink rather than float.
No. Oil will float on vinegar as vinegar has the same density as water.
Most minerals are denser than water, so they will sink rather than float. However, some minerals like pumice have a low enough density to float on water.
