As the egg decomposes, the mass of the egg is reduced. This is because the egg shell is porous and water vapor and gases can escape over time, reducing the mass of the egg. If the mass of the egg is less than the mass of the volume of water displaced by the egg, it will float.
The rules for eggs is: fresh eggs sink and lie on their side. Stale eggs sink and lie on their ends and rotten eggs float.
Yes, a rotten egg when placed in water will float as the egg's contents wiegh less than the amount of water it displaces.
unboiled eggs float, but the boiled ones sink.
No. Never ever eat an egg that floats because that means it has gas in it; that means it's rotten.
If they smell bad.You can also test them by floating them in water. A bad egg will float (it has gas inside), but a good egg will sink to the bottom and lie on its side.

when you will put eggs in water they will form a homogeneous mixture hence cannot float.
To test an egg for freshness, place it in a container of cold water. Some eggs that are not fresh but are still good will raise up a little on one end or even stand up on one end. The eggs that are bad will float all the way off the bottom of the container, will not touch the bottom and should not be used.
The salted water is denser than pure water and eggs can float.
eggs float better with water and salt but they do not float in just water
The rotten egg smell is sulfur...
high sulfar content
It has a high sulfur content to it.
