To float in air, the density of the balloon (divide the combined mass of balloon + contents by its volume) must be LESS than that of the same volume of air. If the gas inside the balloon has a greater density than air, the combined object (balloon + contents) won't have less density than air, either.

What do you think makes balloon stay up?

balloon stay up because of the air inside it. to make the balloon stay up the air should be light. inside the balloons you can find the air we called helium. helium is a light air that makes the balloon stay up. that's why if you blow the balloon it wont float because the air that comes from your mouth is not helium but carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide is heavier compared to helium so it wont float.

What are the effects caused by excessive carbon dioxide?
