  • Description

    Helium has many uses.
    As an inert gas, it is used as the atmosphere in which to “grow” silicon crystals (computerchips).
    As a lifting gas, it is used to inflate weather balloons and lighter-than-air ships (blimps)similar to the ones seen taking TV pictures above football games. Even though helium has lesslifting power than hydrogen, it is used for all lighter-than-air ships because it is noncombustibleand thus safer than hydrogen. In addition to blimps, toy balloons are filled with helium.
    In arc welding, it is used as an inert gas shield that releases great heat for very long andheavy welds. Helium prevents oxidation of the metal being welded, thus preventing burningand corrosion of the metal. This is one of the major uses of helium.
    Helium is used for low-temperature research (–272.2°C or –434°F). It has become importantas a coolant for superconducting electrical systems that, when cooled, offer little resistance to theelectrons passing through a conductor (wire or magnet). When the electrons are “stripped” fromthe helium atom, a positive He++ ion results. The positive helium ions (nuclei) occur in bothnatural and man-made radioactive emissions and are referred to as alpha particles. Helium ions(alpha particles) are used in high-energy physics to study the nature of matter.
    In gas discharge lasers, helium transfers the energy to the laser gas such as carbon dioxideor another inert gas.
    As an inert gas with heat-transfer capability, helium is used in gas-cooled nuclear powerreactors, which operate at a higher efficiency than liquid-cooled nuclear reactors. Theworld’s largest particle accelerators use liquid helium to cool their superconducting magnets.Astronomers use liquid helium to cool their detecting instruments. If this equipment is keptcool, the “thermal noise” produced at higher temperatures is reduce

    ECHEMI Editorial Reference
    colourless gas Helium is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. It is nonflammable.
    Helium appears as a colorless, odorless, noncombustible gas. Can asphyxiate. Inhalation causes the voice to become squeaky (Mickey Mouse voice). Exposure of the container to prolonged heat or fire can cause it to rupture violently and rocket. If liquefied, contact of the very cold liquid with water causes violent boiling. Pressures may build to dangerous levels if the liquid contacts water in a closed container. Used in arc welding, to trace leaks in refrigeration and other closed systems and as a lifting gas for lighter-than-air aircraft.|Helium is a colorless odorless gas. It is lighter than air. It is nonflammable and is only slightly soluble in water. It is chemically inert. When shipped as a liquid it is very cold and will solidify all other gases.

It has a role as a member of food packaging gas.|Helium is a second most abundant chemical element in the universe with symbol He and atomic number 2. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, inert, monatomic gas located at the top of the noble gases on the periodic table. Its boiling and melting points are the lowest among all the elements. Its clinical benefit in inhalation therapy arises from its advantageous physical properties than ambient air. Helium has lower density than air and generates less resistance than to provide improved lung ventilation. It is also used as an analytical reagent in diagnostic/imaging tests to detect respiratory function of the patient.|Helium is a gaseous element with atomic symbol He, atomic number 2, and atomic weight 4.00.|A noble gas with the atomic symbol He, atomic number 2, and atomic weight 4.003. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is not combustible and does not support combustion. It was first detected in the sun and is now obtained from natural gas. Medically it is used as a diluent for other gases, being especially useful with oxygen in the treatment of certain cases of respiratory obstruction, and as a vehicle for general anesthetics.
