Helium is a noble gas. It has its outermost electron orbits completely filled with electrons. Because it cannot react very easily with other things, this gas has many applications the filed of chemistry.

First, Helium does not chemically combine with other elements.

Second, Helium is a very light weight (low density) gas that tends to rise in the atmosphere and eventually escape from the gravitational field of the Earth.

Last, there are very few sources for the production of Helium. Some radioactive elements release Alpha particles which eventually become Helium atoms after capturing electrons.

Helium has several special characteristics that make it a very important resource. It is applied to cool superconducting magnets in MRI scanners. Because helium is lighter than air, balloons and airships can be filled with the gas in order to gain lift.

Helium is important because, without it, the Sun might not shine, and warm the Earth, and without light and warmth there would be no life on Earth

Helium is a very light gas that is non-flammable so it is primarily used for balloons. However, it is also mixed into oxygen for Scuba diving at certain levels.

Why did the hindenburg not use helium?

It wasn't. The US was the biggest producer of helium, and didn't want to sell any to Germany. So they used Hydrogen, which is also light, but very flammable.


How does helium help balloons?

Helium is lighter than air, hence it will rise up in air, making things float up in the air.
