Typically, the tapping is to create a crack so you can peel the egg, without hitting it hard enough to smash it. Some people also just remove the top of the shell and then use a narrow spoon to eat the inside.

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.
