∙ 7y agoHelium is widely used to inflate balloons. When balloons are inflated with helium, a string has to be tied to them and something heavy or they will float into the air and out of sight. Balloons that are inflated with helium are often used for gifts or party decorations for birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occassions.
Helium is also used in neon signs. If the sign is a bright orange-red color, it is very likely that helium is being used.
In a liquid state, it helps to achieve very low temperatures in electronic devices.
Helium is also used in Asthma treatments because it diffuses easily through the lungs. When used this way, it is mixed with oxygen.
Mixed with oxygen, it is used to create an artificial air supply for deep sea divers.
Though it is not actually a use, it is sometimes inhaled because it effects the vocal cords and makes the voice a higher pitch. Inhaling helium should be avoided because it can be harmful.

∙ 15y agoHelium is used in cryogenics, in deep-sea breathing systems, to cool superconducting magnets, in helium dating, for inflating balloons, for providing lift in airships and as a protective gas for many industrial uses (such as arc welding and growing silicon wafers). Inhaling a small volume of the gas temporarily changes the timbre and quality of the human voice.

What are three main uses of helium?
cooling superconductors
What is an atom with two neutrons protons and electrons?
If you build an atom using two protons, two neutrons and two electrons you would build an atom of Helium. To be more-precise, this would create Helium-4 the common isotope of Helium.
What is the name formula and uses for another compound containing helium?
Helium is chemically inert and doesn't form compounds.
What are you if you are gas with two protons in your nucleus?
You are helium.
Does helium have protons and neutrons in its nucleus?
Yes Helium has two protons and two electrons in its nucleus.
Common uses of helium?
Balloons
Uses of helium and its description?
Nathan
How many uses does helium have?
Two are long distance balloon traveling and making people's voices go high.
What are helium's practical uses?
Helium is lighter than air. So balloons or air ships filled with helium will float.
What does helium use?
It uses gas from the sun.
What dois helium uses for?
Mostly Bollons.
