It is light and dense at the same time. It also burns well and when it burns it propels the basket upward.

Why is hydrogen not used more widely as a fuel what problems are scientists?
It catches fire too easy. In the 1930s'; the German (Nazi) blimp, Hindenburg, was filled with flammable hydrogen gas. As it approached a mooring mast in New Jersey, static electricity caused the blimp to explode into a ball of flame, which quickly burned the blimp to the ground, and it killed many people. The was the end of the hydrogen blimp industry. Blimps today use helium, which is not flammable.
Is hydrogen is used to fill the bulbs?
hydrogen is not used in bulbs it is usually argon or another noble gas. e.g neon
A flammable gas once used to fill blimps?
Hydrogen is not used in blimps any longer because it is flammable and dangerous (see: Hindenberg)
Is hydrogen inflammable?
Absolutely not! It is extremely flammable. Ever heard of the Hindenburg Blimp that blew up? That was because the hydrogen ignited. Also, if hydrogen couldn't ignite, there would be no water because water is formed by combustion.
How many electrons for hydrogen does it take to fill its outer shell?
Hydrogen can hold only 1 electron.
Why helium is used to fill a blimp envelope?
So the blimp will stay aloft/still adn will float.
What gas is used in the goodyear blimp?
Helium, a lighter than air gas, is used for buoyancy in the Goodyear Blimp. Hydrogen has not been used for many decades because of the explosive danger.

The density of hydrogen is lower than air and can be used to fill balloonswhy is helium used instead of hydrogen?
Hydrogen is flammable and explosive.

Why do people use hydrogen gas to fill up balloons?
They Do Not use Hydrogen gas to fill up balloons. People use Helium gas to fill up balloons (ordinary party balloons, and big working balloons such as the one used by Goodyear). Helium is Not Flammable. Hydrogen is Flammable and has as tendency to burst into Flame, similar to the German Blimp/Dirigible Hindenburg. Since the US Navy lost Two Helium Blimps in Bad weather; The Akron and the Shenandoah (with a great loss of lives), the US Navy almost never uses Blimps anymore.
Why did the zepplin blimp explode?
Static electricity from a thunder storm set off the hydrogen.
Element used in the goodyear blimp and other dirigibles?
The element that is used in the Goodyear blimp and other dirigibles is helium. This gas is lighter than air and causes the blimp to rise.
How do blimps work?
Blimps are filled with Helium which is lighter than air thus causing the blimp to rise like a hot air balloon. Hydrogen used to be used, however Hydrogen is highly flamable resulting in so major accidents.
This gas can be used to fill party balloons?
helium, hydrogen, nitrous oxide, oxygen
What reacted with oxygen to form Us historys worst aviation?
hydrogen when the hindenberg blimp blew up
