The majority of air is comprised of nitrogen. N2 has an atomic mass of 28, then any gas with a molar mass greater than 28 will sink. Elemental gasses that fit this criteria is Chlorine, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon.

What fluids is used in pneumatics?
They are gases, usually air.
What were the inventions of Wilbur Wright?
The Wright Brothers (Wilbur and Orville) successfully completed the first powered flight by a heavier-than-air vehicle in 1903. (see related link)
What is hydraulics and pmeumatics?
Hydraulics is the use of liquids to transmit power. Pneumatics is the use of gases (usually air) to transmit power.
Why was the Wright Brothers invention so important?
The Wright Brothers invention was the means of producing powered flight in a machine that was heavier than air. It revolutionized the way we travel, the way we fight wars, the way we conduct commerce and generally made the world a smaller place.
Are ductless air conditioners better than ones with ducts?
Ductless air conditioners are not better than ones with ducts. The reason why ductless air conditioners are not better than ones with ducts is that they don't remove the hot air as well.
What are the characteristics of gases and vapors that are heavier than air?
They sink below the air.
What determines if gases or vapors are lighter or heavier than air?
Their densities
When making a vortex using air do you want gases that are lighter or heavier than air?
Well, when I made a vortex using air, I used gases that are lighter.
What commercially available inert gas or gases are heavier than air?
Argon, krypton, xenon, radon are denser than air.
What can gases do that solids cant?
They can take the shape of their container, and some are able to rise above air (some gases are lighter and some are heavier than room air.)
Why are the clouds low?
cloud are low because they contain moisture, dust and gases hence they are heavier than the air
Are solvents heavier than air?
Yes solvents are heavier than air
Is breath heavier than air?
No, water is heavier than air.
Is argon heavier then air?
Yes, it is heavier than air.
Is natural gas heavier than air?
Is natural gas heavier than air
What is heavier than air flying craft?
"Heavier than air" refers to airplanes.
Is argon heavier than air?
argon is a component of "air" and as such air cannot be lighter than air, only more or less dense, however, judging from atomic masses, yes argon is heavier than nitrogen, oxygen, helium, and hydrogen, but depending on pollutants and other gases (CFC's, HCFC's, etc.) the compound that is air can vary slightly in mass.
