Helium has smaller particles than nitrogen or oxygen. Helium atoms are smaller in size, as they have fewer protons and neutrons in their nucleus compared to nitrogen or oxygen atoms. This smaller size allows helium atoms to move more freely and escape into the atmosphere, which is why helium is a lighter gas.
