1. It lasts for as long as the universe in theory, as it does not decay into any other element unless it's in a star, where it will undergo fusion into "heavier" elements

.

2. In a balloon, it easily diffuses through the balloon skin and "leaks" away into the atmosphere, so maybe a day or so.

3. In the atmosphere, it gradually diffuses out into space, but is replenished by natural generation.

What is the half life of the Radioisotope H3?

The half-life of the radioisotope tritium (H-3) is about 12.32 years. This means that it takes approximately 12.32 years for half of a sample of tritium to decay into helium-3.


Will a balloon half filled with air other half helium float?

Yes, a balloon that is half-filled with air and the other half with helium will float because helium is lighter than air. The helium will cause the overall density of the balloon to be lower than the surrounding air, resulting in it floating.


Is hydrogen lighter than helium?

No, helium is almost 4 times as heavy as hydrogen.


What is the range of half-lives of different radioactive element?

It would be quite difficult to list all radioactive elements and their half lives in this area. Lithium 5 has a half life of about a trillionth of a second. Uranium 238 has a half life of about 4.7 billion years. Since the world is about 4.2 billion years, over half the Uranium 238 is still around. The first element in the Periodic Table, Hydrogen, has a radioactive form, Hydrogen 3. It has a half life of about Twelve and a half years. Helium has a radioactive form, Helium 5. It's half life is a trillionth of a second. Then you get to elements with different radioactive isotopes. You will need to look them up in a handbook. Tin is the element with the most isotopes.


Why does the atmosphere of Saturn appear to have only half the helium content of Jupiter?

Saturn's atmosphere appears to have half the helium content of Jupiter because Saturn has a lower overall density than Jupiter, leading to a greater proportion of hydrogen compared to helium in its atmosphere. Jupiter's higher density means that there is more helium present in its atmosphere compared to Saturn.
