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.

How is oxygen gas heavier?

Oxygen gas is considered heavier than other gases (like nitrogen and helium) because the oxygen molecule (O2) has a higher molecular weight due to its two oxygen atoms bonded together. This higher molecular weight causes oxygen gas to be denser and therefore heavier than some other gases.
