They Do Not use Hydrogen gas to fill up balloons. People use Helium gas to fill up balloons (ordinary party balloons, and big working balloons such as the one used by Goodyear). Helium is Not Flammable. Hydrogen is Flammable and has as tendency to burst into Flame, similar to the German Blimp/Dirigible Hindenburg. Since the US Navy lost Two Helium Blimps in Bad weather; The Akron and the Shenandoah (with a great loss of lives), the US Navy almost never uses Blimps anymore.

How can you determine if a balloon is filled with helium gas or hydrogen gas?
Fill two balloons. One with hydrogen gas and the other with helium gas. Allow them to float on a piece of string. Taking a lighted/burning taper/splinter. , and burst the two balloons with the burning splinter. The helium filled balloon will just 'pop' and fall to the ground. The hydrogen filled balloon will 'pop with a flash of flame' So helium ; NO Flame Hydrogen ; A FLASH of FLAME.
Which gas is used to fill the balloons?
Hydrogen, until the Hindenburg,then everyone realized that "Hey, Hydrogen isn't that safe to use!"Hot air balloons, you mean?? Just air that is hot.Actual hand balloons and such? Helium or again, just air. Helium floats better because it is lighter than the surrounding air around it. Helium and air are still used in both.
