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.
It makes you speak in a funny voice and it makes balloons rise =P
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.

Helium is lighter than air. So, tires filled will helium will help the tire rise up in the air.
Yes, helium has been used in blimps as a lifting gas. Helium is less dense than air, which allows it to provide buoyancy and help the blimps stay afloat. However, today, most blimps use a combination of helium for lift and air for control and propulsion.
During the time of the zeppelines, the US had more or less monopoly on Helium, and imposed an embargo on Germany on many things, one being Helium. The Hindenburg was designed for Helium, but had to turn to Hydrogen.
Do you mean helium? Helium is an element, so it's made of .... helium!
Helium has a mass less than that of carbon dioxide.so it will help the ship to float over the water.more over it will not react with any object as it is a noble gas.
Yes, helium will help a balloon fly. Helium does not affect the direction that a balloon goes, but it will keep it in the air for quite some time.
Helium is lighter than air. So balloons or blimps filled with helium will rise up and float.
more importantly are you thick, it doesnt, helium diffuses through us
Helium is lighter than air. So, tires filled will helium will help the tire rise up in the air.

Texas produces the greatest amount of helium for any US state, because one large gas field in Texas happens to have natural gas with a relatively large concentration of helium.
I did an experiment, where a Plant was in a vacuum filled with helium and it died after 3 or 4 days after sprouting. I'm not sure about Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide + Helium though
You don't MAKE Helium, it's a natural gas. Helium was discovered in 1895 by Sir William Ramsay. glad to help, and remember that not all element are man-made!
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.
Helium is lighter than air, hence it will rise up in air, making things float up in the air.
