Is helium inside a balloon a compound?
No, helium inside a balloon is not a compound. Helium is a chemical element and is the second lightest element on the periodic table. It exists as individual helium atoms inside the balloon.
What makes a helium balloon?
A helium balloon is made by filling a latex or mylar balloon with helium gas, which is lighter than air, causing the balloon to float. The helium gas is sealed inside the balloon, allowing it to stay afloat for a period of time before slowly deflating.
What happens to a helium balloon in heat?
In heat, the helium inside a balloon will expand, causing the balloon to inflate further and possibly burst if the heat is excessive. Heat causes the helium molecules to move more quickly and spread out, increasing the pressure inside the balloon.
Why does Helium pump up a balloon?
Nearly any gas can pump up a balloon because it has mass. However, helium is used because it is lighter than air, makes balloons rise, and is fairly safe. Sure, you could put hydrogen in a balloon and it would rise, but it would be highly explosive.
Does helium contract in cold weather and cause a helium balloon to sink and if warmed will it rise again?
Helium will contract in cold weather, but that may not cause a balloon filled with it to sink since the air will also contract - and by about the same amount - so the relative densities of the helium and the surrounding are would remain about the same and the buoyancy of a helium filled balloon would remain
Is the air inside a balloon a pure substance?
In a helium balloon- one that floats and rises to the ceiling it is elemental helium that is used to inflate the balloon. If you just blow into a balloon to inflate it then it is air inside the balloon which is a mixture of gases, principally nitrogen and oxygen (both elements). There are also other gases that are chemical compounds such as carbon dioxide.
What gas is inside an air balloon?
Only a hot mixture of the same gases that are in the air you breathe.

Does a helium balloon float with anything inside?
Helium
What is inside the inflated balloon?
Helium goes into a balloon to make it float.
Is helium inside a balloon a compound?
No, helium inside a balloon is not a compound. Helium is a chemical element and is the second lightest element on the periodic table. It exists as individual helium atoms inside the balloon.

Is inside balloon solid liquid or a gas?
Inside a balloon there is gas. This gas is normally helium if you want the balloon to fly high, but hydrogen also works.
How much can a helium balloon lift?
depends how big the helium balloon is and how many
What happens when a helium-filled balloon is released and rises into the atmosphere?
As the helium-filled balloon rises into the atmosphere, the surrounding air pressure decreases while the pressure inside the balloon remains the same. This causes the helium inside the balloon to expand, making the balloon increase in size. Eventually, the balloon will reach a point where the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the balloon will be equal, and it will float at that altitude.
What happens to a helium balloon in heat?
In heat, the helium inside a balloon will expand, causing the balloon to inflate further and possibly burst if the heat is excessive. Heat causes the helium molecules to move more quickly and spread out, increasing the pressure inside the balloon.
Why does a helium balloon deflate over time?
A helium balloon deflates over time because the helium gas inside the balloon slowly escapes through tiny pores in the balloon material. This causes the balloon to shrink and lose its buoyancy.
