Will nitrogen gas dissolve in helium gas?

Since they are gases, neither nitrogen or helium are technically able to dissolve in the same way that a solid dissolves in a liquid. However, if they were to mix, it would not go well because the helium would float away very quickly.

Is helium a solid?

Helium can certainly become solid, just like any other element. It does have the lowest freezing point of all the elements of 1.1 K (-272.05 °C or -458 °F).See the Web Links to the left for more information about helium.


Does helium form compounds?

Answer:Helium is an inert gas and does not easily form any compounds, in fact there are no known compounds. (It's valence shell is full to capacity, 1s2.) In an electrical discharge it can form metastable 'compounds' called excimers (short for excited dimers) with tungsten, iodine, sulfur, fluorine, phosphorus and sulfur. These are short lived entities, lifetime typically measured in nanoseconds, that are formed by excited helium atoms.There is some thought that helium may react like argon and form helium fluorohydride (HHeF) similar to the argon compound HArF.The curious investigator could use the link below to surf to the Wikipedia post on the compounds of helium. It's only two paragraphs long and easy to read. Why not pull out the stops and go for it?


Why is helium used to fill balloons?

It is a matter of mass, weight, and density. A balloon filled with normal air will not rise. Air will rise in water, because it is less dense (bubbles). Helium on the other hand is lighter than air, so it too will rise when 'submerged' in it. The actual process is that the heavier air surrounding a helium-filled balloon will "displace it" and force it upward. Hydrogen is also less dense than air, but it is flammable. Helium is not flammable, has no smell or taste, and is not poisonous. So because it is the second lightest element, and the second most plentiful in the world (found in natural gas), it's a natural fit. ---- However, consider that while it may seem fun to have balloons that go up on a string, if they escape, then eventually they pop and it is likely that the burst rubber will fall into the sea. In the sea they are mistaken for food by turtles and escaped balloons cause much harm. Also being unreactive as an element and very light, most of the helium on earth has gone to the top of the atmosphere and escaped into space. The only helium we have is found as a byproduct of radioactive decay within the Earth. The element has very important uses in industry and science and wasting it on balloons is not a sensible thing to do. There is only a finite amount of helium available to us at any given time.

What makes balloons go up?

Balloons float up in the air because they are filled with a gas that is lighter than the surrounding air. This gas, often helium or hydrogen, creates a buoyant force that is greater than the force of gravity, causing the balloon to rise.
