Yes Helium is safer than Oxygen, in that it does not feed combustion the way Oxygen does. In fact, a high concentration of Helium will extinguish a fire.
BUT …
In a closed area, you can suffocate if the concentration of Helium in the air gets too high.
Because hydrogen is reactive and combines with oxygen, while helium is inert.
Yes, because helium doesn't react, burn or explode.
no. If it was, we would have oxygen balloons instead of helium balloons.
Hydrogen and helium gases are commonly used in airships for lift. Helium is safer than hydrogen due to its non-flammable nature, although it is less buoyant.

Helium is lighter (less dense) than oxygen & nitrogen.
Heavier but safer. Look what happened to the Hindenburg:(
Argon is heavier than oxygen and helium. Argon has an atomic mass of 39.948 g/mol, while oxygen has an atomic mass of 16.00 g/mol and helium has an atomic mass of 4.003 g/mol. Argon is a noble gas that is denser than both oxygen and helium.
Helium is lighter than oxygen and can escape the ozone.
Helium has smaller particles than nitrogen or oxygen. Helium atoms are smaller in size, as they have fewer protons and neutrons in their nucleus compared to nitrogen or oxygen atoms. This smaller size allows helium atoms to move more freely and escape into the atmosphere, which is why helium is a lighter gas.
Hydrogen is dangerous than Helium because Hydrogen is a stronger gas than Helium.
Helium is a lighter gas than oxygen, ever seen balloons filled with helium? They rise upwards with heat due to a lesser amount of particles. If we used oxygen, the airships wouldn't get off the ground!
