FACTS ABOUT HELIUM BALLOONS

LIGHTER THAN AIR

• Helium is one of the least dense and lightest of
  all chemical elements.
• This is due to the low density and chemical
  stability of helium atoms.
• As a result, you will see balloons filled with
  helium gas float, buoyed up by the denser
  surrounding air.

5
HELIUM CAN LEAK FROM BALLOONS

• Helium molecules are very small that they can
  leak through the balloon skin.
• This means eventually a helium balloon may not
  float as well as it did on the day one.
• This is why it is not advised to decorate the
  venue with helium balloons in advance.

HELIUM MAKES VOICE SOUND HIGHER

• The low density of characteristic of helium
  allows your voice to travel a lot faster across
  vocal cords.
• This results in you sounding like a squeaky duck
  or mouse after you inhale helium gas.
• Also, breathing helium can deprive your body of
  oxygen and sometimes make you pass out too.

7
HELIUM HAS LIFTING FORCE

• Helium has a lifting force of around one gram per
  liter.
• A balloon that holds 10 litres of helium can lift
  an object weighing 10 grams.
• So, you will need around 5000 helium balloons to
  lift 50 kgs to get off the ground.

So, these were the facts about the majestic gas
helium found in different types of balloons like
