Answer:

Density is the characteristic property of the substance. Density is related to mass and volume of the substance.

Density of the substance decides whether it will float or submerge in water or any other liquid. If the substance is denser than the liquid then it will sink and if its density is lower than the liquid then it will float.

For example: The density of oil is lesser than water and hence it floats.
