Inside boiled eggs, there are paticles which are very light. They are light enough to float on water, and because the egg is boiled, the particles get faster and faster cusing the egg to rise and float on top of water.

∙ 13y agoThey float better because they lose weigh. Hold the raw egg in one hand and an boiled egg in the other. Which one is lighter? Also it is cause by buoyancy.
Wiki User

Why does an egg float in water and baking soda?
An egg floats in water with baking soda because the baking soda increases the density of the water. When the egg is placed in the water and baking soda mix, the weight that it displaces is greater than the weight of the egg itself, which causes it to float.
Does a hard-boiled egg float at the same salt concentration as an uncooked one?
yes it does
Is a raw egg more dense than a boiled egg?
The density of an egg that I boiled was 1.02 * density of tap water. The density of a raw egg was 1.06 * the density of tap water. The mass of the egg did not change so the volume increased slightly. With a raw egg and a boiled egg covering in water, if you add salt and mix slowly you find that the boiled egg will float first and if you continue to add salt you get both to float. Interestingly, recipes for making a brine solution for food preparation frequently tell you to put a raw egg in water and add enough salt in solution to make the egg float. This assures enough salt for a good brine solution.
