Is helium lighter or heavier than hydrogen?
Heavier but safer. Look what happened to the Hindenburg:(
Why is helium gas safer than hydrogen gas?
Because hydrogen is reactive and combines with oxygen, while helium is inert.
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.
Which is lighter - helium or hydrogen?
Hydrogen is lighter than Helium.
Would an hydrogen balloon float better than a helium one?
Hydrogen is lighter than helium. So hydrogen balloon will float better than helium.
Is hydrogen more dangerous than oxygen Why?
Hydrogen is dangerous than Helium because Hydrogen is a stronger gas than Helium.
What is colder helium or hydrogen?
Liquid Helium is colder than Liquid Hydrogen.
What has more mass hydrogen or helium?
Helium has more mass than hydrogen.
Is hydrogen lighter than helium?
No, helium is almost 4 times as heavy as hydrogen.
Why hydrogen diffuses four times more than helium?
because the mass of hydrogen is less than that of helium
Why hydrogen gas is liquefied first than helium gas?
Because hydrogen is lighter that helium
How to Use valence electron configuration to explain why helium is safer than hydrogen for use in airships?
Helium had valence electron of 2 and filled the most inner ring so it is chemically robust and inert. Outer valence electron ring contain 8 electrons so for Neon is robust as it had 2,8 electrons and Argon had 2,8,8 electrons and fill the outer ring.
