Default Floating Seeds Indication of Viability?

I'm planting a late crop of corn, and I soaked some seeds in a cup of
water overnight to expedite their germination. About half the seeds
are floating at the surface of the water, while the other half have
sunk to the bottom of the cup. Is this any indication of seed
viability? Should I discard the floating seeds and only plant the
sunken ones, or vice versa?

Thanks.
