Because it has mass. It may be lighter THAN AIR, but that does not mean it is weightless. Even cells have weight.
Try sucking in helium found most commonly in balloons. Only the balloons that need a weight to keep them down have helium in them - because helium is lighter than air. Anyway helium will make your voice sound high- pitched therefore making your voice sound funny. Helium in big intakes can damage your lungs; but don't worry you would have to suck in a lot to damage them.
Helium Helium
Helium has 2 protons, 2 neutrons and 2 electrons. The symbol for helium is He and the atomic number is 2.
The valency of Helium is 0
Helium is a nonmetal. Think about the helium balloon!
Helium's atomic weight = 4 amu
Helium atom has 2 protons and 2 neutrons (that accounts for its atomic weight). The atomic weight of helium is 4.00260
The atomic weight of helium is 4,002602(2).
4.002602 g/mol
Yes; helium has an atomic weight of 4.00260, and lead has an atomic weight of 207.2.
At the same temperature, helium gas will move faster due to its lower atomic weight. Helium has an atomic weight of 4g/ mol, while argon has an atomic weight of 39.95g/ mol.
6675 moles Moles = weight (in g) / atomic weight = 26700 g / 4 = 6675 moles
No. helium does not react with any other element
0.46 divided by the formula weight of helium (4) 0.46/4=0.115 or 0.12 moles of Helium
No, helium has weight, but it rises when its in an expandable container such as a balloon because it is lighter than the nitrogen rich atmosphere but inside of a rigid container the helium can only add weight. (see the mythbuster's episode about the helium football)
because of the weight of the bottle, also the helium may be compressed
* Calculate the volume of the ballon * Calculate the weight of the helium: G= V x 0,1786 (the helium density in g/L) * Add the weight of the balloon material (rubber, plastic, etc.)
