A little bit of yes and a little bit of no. There are two issues:

Between its boiling point (about 4.2 K) and its "lambda point" (around 2.2 K), liquid helium-4 is a normal liquid. Below the lambda point, however, helium-4 becomes superfluid.

The isotope helium-3 also has a superfluid phase, but it occurs at a significantly lower temperature.

So whether the answer to your question is "yes" or "no" depends on which isotope of helium you're talking about, and exactly what the temperature is.

Is helium a fluid?

Helium can exist in both liquid and gas states. At extremely low temperatures, around -269°C, helium can turn into a liquid. This makes helium unique among the elements, as it can exhibit both fluid behaviors as a liquid and gas.


How does helium-4 behave if thrown?

What is a supercondutor?

the superconductor is the wire that covered with a super fluid as liquid helium that prevent losing in the energy of electron when it passing through the wire as a heat energy so the wire will have be a super conductor and the wire will have a continued electric current and this kind of wires used in spaceship .

What would happen if you poured liquid helium into liquid nitrogen?

If you pour liquid helium into liquid nitrogen, the helium will not mix with the nitrogen and will instead form separate layers. Helium is lighter than nitrogen and has a lower boiling point, so the helium will tend to float on top of the nitrogen.


Is liquid helium a true substance?

Yes, liquid helium is a true substance. It is the liquid form of the element helium, which is a noble gas. At very low temperatures close to absolute zero, helium gas condenses to form liquid helium, exhibiting unique physical properties and behaviors.


What is colder - liquid nitrogen or liquid heluim?

Liquid helium is a lot colder than liquid nitrogen.


Why do you use helium to super-cool magnets and why not use liquid nitrogen?

Helium is used for cooling magnets because it remains a liquid at very low temperatures, providing efficient cooling for superconducting materials. Liquid nitrogen, while also cold, is not as effective as helium for reaching the extremely low temperatures required to achieve superconductivity in some materials.


Is a gas considered a fluid?

Gas would not be considered a fluid. A good example of fluid is water. Anything that is a liquid is a fluid. The examples of gases are; carbon dioxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, methane, helium, argon, sodium, chlorine and sulphur.


Which liquid boils the quickest?

Liquid helium in the helium I phase boils at about 5 K, lower than any other substance. (Liquid helium in the helium II phase does not boil, it simply evaporates. Helium is truly weird stuff at very low temperatures.)
