Why is hydrogen not used on a large scale?
That depends. What are you proposing to use it for?
Helium is used in balloons instead of hydrogen because it is?
Helium is used instead of hydrogen because it is nonflammable.
Why sun have hydrogen and helium?
Hydrogen is the fuel used by the sun, helium is the waste produced by hydrogen use in the fusion process
The density of hydrogen is lower than air and can be used to fill balloonswhy is helium used instead of hydrogen?
Hydrogen is flammable and explosive.
What is the Advantage of the presence of hydrogen in large scale in the sun?
A star, like the sun, spends much of its life producing energy, in the form of light and heat, through the fusion of hydrogen into helium. When the hydrogen is mostly used up the star moves to fusion of helium into larger (heavier) elements. At that stage the sun will become a red giant. It will then be large enough to engulf the earth's orbit, thyough well before that happens, the earth will be a burnt, lifeless "cinder".
Which chemical symbol is used to represent gas helium?
The symbol for hydrogen gas is H2
Why is helium used more frequently?
Hydrogen is extremely flammable and helium is safer.
What is a light element used for lifting airships?
Hydrogen (explosive), Helium (non-explosive).

Why helium gas is used in weather balloons but not hydrogen?
Because helium (He) is lighter than air and not flammable like Hydrogen (H) which is the lightest element.
Do airplanes use helium?
Helium is used to reaplce hydrogen on a n airplane because it is nonflammable
Both hydrogen gas and helium gas are lighter than air. Why is helium used to lift blimps instead of hydrogen?
Hydrogen is higly explosive ! Remember the Hindenburg disaster.
