A gas that displaces air at the same pressure, and has lower density. Be nice if it did not burst into flames when tied to a tower and static charges equiibrate (ala. Hindenburg) Helium does NOT burst into flames. Hydrogen is what was used in some airships that caused explosions. Helium is an inert gas so it does not mix in any chemical reactiion or explosion. Therefore the 2nd property is that it does NOT explode.
