The simple answer is the bigger the balloon, the more rubber it will have. However, the actual amount of rubber is determined by its thickness. Thus a large but thin balloon can easily have less rubber than a smaller thicker balloon. Assuming all rubber balloons are made from the same chemical composition, you can determine which has the most rubber simply by weighing them while they are completely deflated. Alternatively, immerse the deflated balloons in water to determine their mass (by the amount of displacement).

What keeps the balloon to hold its shape?
The shape of the balloon is determined by the shape of the deflated rubber and the thickness of the rubber. The neck is usually thicker than the body, thus the body will expand far more than the neck. The pressure exerted upon the air by the balloon's elasticity creates the final inflated shape. If the thickness in the body of the balloon varies, the balloon will not be perfectly round. The thickness of the neck rubber forces the balloon to be more pear-shaped than spherical.
What makes a balloon pop?
Several things can cause a balloon to pop. All of them, however, involve exceeding the elasticity of the material. When the rubber of a balloon is stretched too far, a hole or rip will appear. The balloon wants to stay small, so when a hole appears, there is no more material holding it together at that point. So, like a rubber band stretched then released, the rubber snaps away from the hole. This sudden force creates more holes and rips, and the whole balloon destroys itself.
Who first manufactured the Rubber Balloon?
the rubber balloon was first invented by a professor named Michael faraday..
Why does balloon filled with water do not blast when it is shown to fire?
Why does the balloon with no water break in the flame? And balloon with water not break? The flame heats the rubber of both balloons. The rubber of the balloon without water becomes so hot, that it becomes too weak to resist the pressure of the air inside the balloon. When water inside the balloon is placed in the flame, the water absorbs most of the heat from the flame. Then, the rubber of the balloon does not become very hot. Because the rubber does not become hot, it does not weaken, and the balloon does not break. Water is a good absorber of heat
Why does a rubber balloon with a piece of scotch tape not burst when pricked by a needle?
A piece of tape on a rubber balloon acts as a reinforcement so the rubber does not rip when poked by a needle in the tape.

What color balloon is the most static?
i don't think its anything to do with colour, i think it's more to do with the thickness of the rubber and size of the balloon.

Why does a balloon pop when stepped on?
It depends upon the strength of the rubber making up the balloon and how much air is already in it, which will increase pressure in certain regions of balloon when stepped on. The assumption is the one is stepping on the balloon with a wide shoe bottom, rather than a stiletto heel. Sometimes, you can step on a balloon, and the part under the foot gets flattened as the air gets displaced into the stretching parts of the balloon coming out from under the sides of the foot. If the air content is low enough to not overcome the tensile strength of the rubber, then the balloon will not pop. However, if there is enough air in the balloon to overcome the tensile strength of the rubber as the air pressure increases when you step on the balloon, then the balloon will pop. What happens is the part of the balloon under the foot remains still, and the air is forced away from that region, placing more air pressure on the rest of the balloon. This stretches the balloon so that it comes out the sides of the foot. In these regions, the air pressure is much greater. Now, due to the special intermolecular bonds in rubber, the molecules can remain bound but still stretch and bend, allowing for rubber to stretch. As air pressure builds, it produces a force against the inside of the rubber, causing the rubber to stretch. If the rubber stretches past the point where the molecules separate enough to form a small tear (air hole) in the rubber, then the overall forces placed on the rubber cause a VERY rapid failure in the adjacent regions of the rubber to maintain integrity. They rip, and the rubber next to it rips, and so forth in what is called cascade failure. In all, a large rip forms along the rubber as the air escapes its container (the balloon).

Why does a balloon smell weird?
Because of the rubber. The rubber can smell a little weird.
