How does a helium balloon float but not a balloon filled with air?
Helium is a lighter element compared to air, helium also has fewer molecules than air.
How many times lighter is hydrogen than air?
HYDROGN IS 14 TIMES LIGHTER THAN AIR.
Heated air that is lighter than surrounding air will do what?
Heated air that is lighter than surrounding air will rise, as it is less dense. This process creates convection currents, with cooler air moving in to replace the rising warm air.
Is moist air heavier or lighter than dry air?
Moist air is heavier than dry air, because of the water.
How do you make air lighter so that it will cause a balloon to rise?
To make air lighter, you can heat it up. Hot air is less dense than cold air, so it rises. When you heat the air inside a balloon, it becomes lighter than the surrounding air and causes the balloon to float upward.
What is helium and What is its use for?
its the 2nd element on the periodic table and it makes things lighter, such as helium balloons, which float as helium is lighter than air
Why is helium heavier than air?
Helium is lighter than air because of atomic mass. Helium is element number two, whereas oxygen is element number 8. Oxygen has an atomic mass of 16, and helium has a mass of 4, so helium is 4 times lighter than air. (Atomic mass is the total mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a single atom.)
Why is compound lighter than a element?
A compound is not lighter than an element, if that element is part of the compound. Some compounds, like H2O would be lighter than, say, the element lead, but it is not lighter than the elements that make it up, i.e. hydgrogen and/or oxygen.
How does a helium balloon float but not a balloon filled with air?
Helium is a lighter element compared to air, helium also has fewer molecules than air.
Is ozone lighter than air?
Yes, ozone is lighter than air.
How many times lighter is hydrogen than air?
HYDROGN IS 14 TIMES LIGHTER THAN AIR.
What percentage of hydrogen is lighter than air?
100% of hydrogen is lighter than air
Is methane lighter than air?
Yes methane is lighter than air because it is less dense than air.
What are some lighter than air aircrafts?
blimp or hot air balloons are lighter than air crafts
When balloons are filled with this they are lighter than air.?
Hot air, hydrogen or helium are lighter than cold air.
Explain why lighter-than air balloons fly?
"Lighter than air." Think about it for a second.
Is helium light or heavy?
Helium is classified as a light element because it has a low atomic mass compared to other elements like oxygen or iron. It is lighter than air, which is why helium-filled balloons float.
