No. The molar mass of dry air is 28.97 g/mol. Noble gases are monatomic, so their Atomic Mass represent their molar mass. From this we can tell that helium and neon are less dense (lighter) than air, while argon (atomic mass 39.9) onwards are denser than air.
What else can I help you with?
Why do noble gases in balloon float in air?
Noble gases are lighter than air. Hence balloons filled with noble gases will float in air.
What is the trend in density as you go down the group of noble gases?
The densities of the noble gases increase with increasing molecular mass. The increase in density is due to the increase in atomic mass. Helium is about one seventh the density of air and can be used in balloons and lighter-than-air craft. Xenon is about five times the density of air.
What is the trend in density in noble gases?
The densities of the noble gases increase with increasing molecular mass. The increase in density is due to the increase in atomic mass. Helium is about one seventh the density of air and can be used in balloons and lighter-than-air craft. Xenon is about five times the density of air.
Greenhouse gases are obviously lighter than air How then are they measured by weight How does one weigh something that is lighter than air?
Greenhouse gasses are NOT "obviously lighter than air"; carbon dioxide is significantly heavier than air.One way to weigh something that's lighter than air is to weigh it in a vacuum.
What determines if gases or vapors are lighter or heavier than air?
The molecular weight of the gas or vapor plays a key role in determining whether it is lighter or heavier than air. Gases or vapors with lower molecular weights are typically lighter than air and will rise, while those with higher molecular weights are heavier and tend to sink. Temperature and pressure can also impact the behavior of gases and vapors relative to air.
Why do noble gases in balloon float in air?
Noble gases are lighter than air. Hence balloons filled with noble gases will float in air.
When making a vortex using air do you want gases that are lighter or heavier than air?
Well, when I made a vortex using air, I used gases that are lighter.

What properties make helium useful?
While it is not a "Noble Gas" it is much lighter than air. It is not lighter than Hydrogen, but it does not ignite as easily.
Why do certain gases allow a balloon to rise?
Because the gases filling the balloon are lighter than the surrounding air.
What gases lift a balloon into the air?
Anything less dense than air (hydrogen, helium, hot air).
What determines if gases or vapors are lighter or heavier than air?
The molecular weight of the gas or vapor plays a key role in determining whether it is lighter or heavier than air. Gases or vapors with lower molecular weights are typically lighter than air and will rise, while those with higher molecular weights are heavier and tend to sink. Temperature and pressure can also impact the behavior of gases and vapors relative to air.
Are noble gases less dense than air?
Helium and neon are less dense than air; argon, krypton, xenon and radon are denser than air.
What are some examples of lighter than air vehicles?
-- blimp -- Zeppelin -- dirigible -- hot-air balloon
Which gases weigh less than air?
Appended is a list of gases with their specific gravities. The specific gravity of a gas is a comparison of its density with that of air at the same temperature and pressure. Gases with a Specific Gravity (SG) less than1 are lighter than air.
