Should weather balloons be filled with hydrogen?
Yes, hydrogen is lighter than air and so causes the balloon to float.
What gas are balloons filled with to make them float?
Helium
What gas can make a balloon float Is it hydrogen or Nitrogen or Argon or Chlorine?
Hydrogen can make a balloon float. Nitrogen, argon, and chlorine will not. However, hydrogen is combustible and in a balloon that cam near an ignition source, could produce a fire or explosion. The preferred gas for balloons, if cost is not an issue, is helium, which does not burn and is still very light.
Helium is used in balloons because?
Helium is used in balloons because it is much less dense than air, allowing the balloons to float and is completely nontoxic and nonflammable unlike hydrogen, which is otherwise a superior lifting gas.
Is balloons filled with hydrogen and oxygen?
If I am right in interpreting the question as "Are balloons normally filled with hydrogen and oxygen?", then the answer would be no. Although they can be, as both substances are gases, the majority of balloon are filled with air, a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gases. If you mean the balloons that float, they are filled with helium
Why do hydrogen balloons float in air?
Because it is very light
Why is hydrogen used in weather balloons?
Hydrogen is used in weather balloons because they are very light which help the balloon to float or fly easily.
How do you know hydrogen gas is lighter than air?
Balloons filled with it float in air
What is the game where you tap balloons to make them float?
The game is called Float.
Why do balloons only float with helium?
they don't float ONLY with helium. They float with any gas that is less dense than air, for instance hydrogen.
Should weather balloons be filled with hydrogen?
Yes, hydrogen is lighter than air and so causes the balloon to float.
Will warming helium balloons make them float?
Helium is lighter than air. so balloons filled with helium will float in air. warming will make them float or rise up faster.
Why the balloons filed with hydrogen does not rise indefinitely?
To rise, they need something to float on - i.e., air.
Which gas does make balloons float up?
Helium

Is it helium in happy birthday balloons?
Yes, party balloons that float are filled with helium. Helium is used because it is lighter than air, causing the balloon to float upwards, but safer than the alternative hydrogen, which is explosive.
