What is the noble lightweight element used by goodyear?

Goodyear is well known for its blimps. In order for these blimps to float, they contain a lighter than air gas. Hydrogen is to dangerous for this purpose, so helium is used. Thus, helium is the noble gas used by Goodyear.


Do they still use helium in blimps?

Yes, helium is still commonly used in blimps due to its low density and non-flammable properties, making it a safe option for lifting aircraft. Helium provides the necessary buoyancy to keep blimps afloat and is widely used in the aerospace industry for this purpose.


What is the purpose of helium gas in a modern airship?

The purpose of Helium gas in any airship, including modern airships, is to reduce the overall density and thus provide "lift."


What is the purpose of the helium gas in the GC machine?

The purpose of the helium gas in the GC (gas chromatography) machine is to act as the carrier gas. The helium gas carries the sample through the column, allowing for the separation and analysis of the various components in the sample. Helium is commonly used as the carrier gas due to its inertness and low molecular weight, which facilitates efficient sample transport.

Why is helium used in a zeppelin?

Helium is much less dense than air, meaning it can provide lift. The only gas lighter than helium is hydrogen, which is too dangerous to use for such a purpose because it is extremely flammable. Helium, on the other hand is completely nonflammable. Aside from hydrogen no other gas is anywhere near as light as helium.


Is helium used pure or is it part of a compound?

Helium is used as it is/pure. Helium is an inert gas and does not form part of compounds.
