The molecular mass of helium is 4. The molecular mass of nitrogen, the most common component of air, is 28.
Since all gases take up about the same amount of space per mole at a given temperature and pressure, helium is about 7 times less dense than nitrogen, and oxygen, the second most common constituent of dry air, is even more dense than nitrogen.
What else can I help you with?
Gas that is less dense than air?
Helium is a gas that is less dense than air. This is why a balloon filled with helium rises when released.
Are noble gases less dense than air?
Helium and neon are less dense than air; argon, krypton, xenon and radon are denser than air.
Why do helium balloons float better than just air balloons?
helium is less dense than air. :) so helium will float better than air
How does density of helium compare to density of oxygen and nitrogen?
Helium is lighter (less dense) than oxygen & nitrogen.
How dense is helium compared with air?
Which is more dense: water or helium? - Water is more dense, because water does not float like helium does. It is below air. That's why we have oceans and lakes and rivers.
Gas that is less dense than air?
Helium is a gas that is less dense than air. This is why a balloon filled with helium rises when released.
Why a balloon filled with helium floats in air?
Helium is less dense than air
What floats on air?
helium balloon because helium is less dense than air
Is helium a less dense item?
Yes. Helium is lighter than air.
Why do helium-filled ballons raise in air?
Because helium is less dense than air.
What has more density air or helium?
The density of helium is less than the density of air. You can infer this without doing any calculations by thinking about the classic example of inhaling the helium from a balloon and talking. Your voice gets squeeky high because helium is less dense than air - that is, your sound waves propagate faster through helium than through air, therefore helium is less dense.
What makes balloons less dense air?
If a balloon is filled with a substance that's less dense than air ... such as helium, hydrogen, steam, or warmer air ... then the balloon is less dense than air.
Are helium balloons more dense than air baloons?
No. At the same pressure, a helium filled balloon will be less dense than an air-filled balloon.
Are noble gases less dense than air?
Helium and neon are less dense than air; argon, krypton, xenon and radon are denser than air.

helium is less dense than air. :) so helium will float better than air
