Helium is lighter than air
Heavier but safer. Look what happened to the Hindenburg:(
hydrogen
No. Helium is lighter than air
Helium is actually lighter than hemoglobin. The molecular weight of helium is about 4 g/mol, while the molecular weight of hemoglobin is approximately 64,500 g/mol. Therefore, helium is not heavier than hemoglobin; it is significantly lighter by a factor of about 16,125.
yes, anything with a lower atomic number would be lighter, for example, helium is lighter than air, which is why balloons float when filled with helium... the lighter substance rises above the heavier....
Helium exists as a monatomic gas, with atomic mass of 4.0. Thus any gas with a molecular mass higher than 4.0 would be heavier than helium. Hydrogen is the only gas that is lighter than helium; all others are heavier than helium.
No, carbon dioxide is heavier than helium. Carbon dioxide has a molecular weight of about 44 g/mol, while helium has a molecular weight of 4 g/mol. This means that helium is lighter than carbon dioxide and will rise above it in the presence of air.
Helium is a gas and is far more lighter than carbon which is a solid.

Because, carbon dioxide is heavier than air whereas helium is lighter than air.
Helium is a gas, so it is not lighter than gas. It is like asking why is water heavier than liquid. Helium is less dense than all other gases except hydrogen, because it has an atomic weight of 4.
no. If it was, we would have oxygen balloons instead of helium balloons.
