Helium
Yes, it is.
Hydrogen is the lightest gas.
Because helium (He) is lighter than air and not flammable like Hydrogen (H) which is the lightest element.
helium is the lightest air
Helium is the inert gas named after the Greek god of the sun, Helios. It is the second lightest element on the periodic table and is commonly used in balloons, blimps, and as a cooling agent in various applications.
Yes, it is.
Helium
Helium is the lightest inert gas. It is a monatomic gas with an average atomic weight of about 4. The only atom lighter than that is hydrogen - which forms a diatomic gas with molecular wight of about 2 - BUT - it is anything but inert! Hydrogen is highly flammable and a commonly used reactant for a lot of syntheses. The next lightest gas that is sort of inert is nitrogen - which is quite a bit heavier - at a molecular weight of about 14. (Nitrogen is not particularly reactive at room temperature so it is often used as an "inert" gas - even though it isn't really totally inert.) The next lightest noble gas is Neon - which, although it forms a monatomic gas, has an atomic wight of about 20 - even heavier than Nitrogen.
The lightest non-flammable gas is Helium.Note: After Helium, Nitrogen technically comes next however it can burn at a very high temperature. Because of this, Neon would be the next lightest truly non-flammable gas.
Helium is the lightest noble gas, so neon, argon, krypton and xenon are all heavier noble gases. Radon's also a noble gas and it's heavier than helium, but it's radioactive so is it really inert?
Hydrogen was, and is, the lightest gas
Hydrogen is the lightest gas.
Yes it is, and it's also the lightest gas in the universe.
