It depends on the density on the item. The density of water is 1.0 so if the density of the item is lower then that it will float, if the density is greater then that, then the item will sink.

How can you make a piece of iron metal float?

if u made the piece ofmetal hollow it can float unless its density is larger than the water densityANSWER:If you make it displace more water than what makes it sink, it will float, as in a ships hull. If you make pontoons out of it, it will float. If you make an enclosed shape that contains enough air, it will float. There should be less density in the item than the water.


Is it the weight that makes things float?

No, it's the air volume on each item. For example, a balloon filled with air will surely float on the water, but a ballon filled with water will not float. That's because there is no air in the second one and that makes it even heavier.
