If the weight of the a submerged object is less than the weight of the displaced liquid, then it has positive buoyancy and will float. Should the two weights turn out to be equal then the submerged object will have neutral buoyancy, leaving negative buoyancy (or sinking) where the weight of the object is greater than the liquid it displaces.
