In theory it is a pure element. However, due the the cost of obtaining really pure helium, it is likely to contain trace amounts of other gases.

Is helium inside a balloon a pure substance or mixture?

Natural air is always a mixture, and more or less homogenous in its major constituents. However, if the balloon was inflated by mouth, it will have less oxygen and more carbon dioxide than the air outside the balloon, which is also a mixture.


Is a balloon full of helium a compound element or a mixture?

A mixture: The walls of the balloon are not made of helium, and helium itself never reacts with any elastomeric material suitable for constructing balloons.


Is the air inside a balloon a pure substance?

In a helium balloon- one that floats and rises to the ceiling it is elemental helium that is used to inflate the balloon. If you just blow into a balloon to inflate it then it is air inside the balloon which is a mixture of gases, principally nitrogen and oxygen (both elements). There are also other gases that are chemical compounds such as carbon dioxide.
