Are helium filled balloons flammable?
No. Helium is non-flammable.
Why the balloons are called helium?
Balloons are not called helium; they can be filled with helium because this gas is not flammable and has a very low density.
What element is used more in making balloons?
Helium is a gas used to inflate lighter than air balloons.
Why is helium better than hydrogen in hot air balloons?
Hot air balloons use hot air. They have a burner to heat the air. Hydrogen balloons were too dangerous because hydrogen is highly flammable, even static electricity could cause an explosion. Helium is safer because helium is not flammable.
What is a very light gas found in some balloons?
Helium is used in blimps and balloons. It is the second lightest element to hydrogen, which is not used because it is highly flammable.
Are helium filled balloons flammable?
No. Helium is non-flammable.

Why is hydrogen gas is not used in balloons?
Hydrogen is too flammable
Why the balloons are called helium?
Balloons are not called helium; they can be filled with helium because this gas is not flammable and has a very low density.
Why is helium good for balloons?
It is lighter than air therefore the balloons float and it is non-flammable and non toxic so safe.
Why is hot air better than helium in hot air balloons?
Hot air balloons use hot air. They have a burner to heat the air. Hydrogen balloons were too dangerous because hydrogen is highly flammable, even static electricity could cause an explosion. Helium is safer because helium is not flammable.
Why don't air balloons use hydrogen gas?
Because hydrogen is EXTREMELY flammable and can burn from a wide range of air concentrations. It is more flammable than gasoline.
What element is used more in making balloons?
Helium is a gas used to inflate lighter than air balloons.
Why isn't hydrogen gas used any more in air balloons?
Because it is incredibly flammable. Look up "Hindenburg".
Why do people use hydrogen gas to fill up balloons?
They Do Not use Hydrogen gas to fill up balloons. People use Helium gas to fill up balloons (ordinary party balloons, and big working balloons such as the one used by Goodyear). Helium is Not Flammable. Hydrogen is Flammable and has as tendency to burst into Flame, similar to the German Blimp/Dirigible Hindenburg. Since the US Navy lost Two Helium Blimps in Bad weather; The Akron and the Shenandoah (with a great loss of lives), the US Navy almost never uses Blimps anymore.
