An element too dangerous to use in modern airships?
That'd be hydrogen.
What element is used to fill airships and balloons?
Helium
Which element is also used in airships?
Hydrogen and helium are two elements that are kinda-sorta interchangeable in airships.
What did hydrogen used to be used for?
The only answer that comes to mind is "Airships". Hydrogen, the lightest element, was used in airships, where excess weight was undesirable. However, accidents like the Hindenburg disaster showed that Hydrogen gas was too dangerous(it is extremely flammable) to be used. Since then, Helium has been used instead. Helium is also a very light element, and is completely safe, as it is inert.
Why airships today safer than in the past?
because hydrogen used to be in those airships and since hydrogen is flammable it was very dangerous
What element was once used to fill airships?
Hydrogen was the gas that was once used to filled airships. It is extremely plentiful and easy to produce. However, it is also extremely flammable and caused a few accidents. Helium is now used.
What is a light element used for lifting airships?
Hydrogen (explosive), Helium (non-explosive).
What flammable gas used to be used in airships?
Hydrogen used to be used in airships.
Why is gas no longer used for airships?
gas is still used in airships to provide lift.
Used in airships after the Hindenburg disaster?
Hydrogen
Why are airships safer than today they were in the past?
Modern airships use Helium for lift which is non-combustible whereas in the past airships such as the Hindenburg used Hydrogen for lift which is highly combustible. In addition, modern airships take advantage of new alloys and polymers which give them a much stronger airframe.
Is roentgenium dangerous?
As a radioactive and unstable element roentgenium can be dangerous.
