Nitrogen gas will neither sink nor float in water because it is less dense than water and doesn't have a liquid state at room temperature. It will just mix and dissolve in the water, creating a solution. So, in short, nitrogen won't sink or float, it will just hang out in the water like a party crasher.

Nitrogen, N(2) being a gas at room temperature would float. Liquid Nitrogen, N(2) would immediately expand into the gaseous form on contact with water, therefore it would also float. Liquid Nitrogen is also a little less dense than water therefore would also float regardless of other circumstances.

Nitrogen gas, N2, will float on water since it is less dense than water. However, when nitrogen is in liquid form, it will sink as liquid nitrogen is denser than water.
