Helium Gas- A Complete Guide to Understand This Element\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Helium Cylinders are a new addition to our webshop. So we can not start this new era without offering you a complete guide to understanding what\u00a0<\/span>helium gas<\/strong> is and means in the world.<\/p>\n

By putting together the answers to some frequently asked questions surrounding helium, here we attempt to help you make yourself a master in helium practice!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

#1 What is Helium Gas?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Of all elements, helium is the most stable and second most abundant in the universe after hydrogen. It is a colorless, odorless, inert gas with unique properties as\u00a0<\/span>nitrous oxide<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>See nitrous oxide cylinders here<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, you can find helium in laboratories requiring extra-cold temperatures for experiments because this inert gas can be chilled to temperatures near zero.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#2 What Makes Helium Gas Unique?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Perhaps the most familiar use of helium is as a safe, non-inflammable gas to fill party and parade balloons. However, there is more to it than we think. The medical field, for instance, uses helium in essential diagnostic equipment such as MRIs (Magnetic resonance imaging).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other industries also work with helium in different ways, for example, as a cooler for thermographic cameras and nuclear reactors.<\/span><\/p>\n

#3 Where is Helium Originated?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Would it sound crazy if we tell you that helium shortage also impacts science, industry, and celebrations? Probably not after the question we answered previously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, where it comes from might amuse you.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Helium is generated deep underground through the natural radioactive decay\/decomposition of elements such as uranium and thorium. Today, the world’s Helium supply relies on reserves in the United States, the Middle East, Russia, and North Africa. The United States produces about 75 percent of the world’s helium, with Qatar coming in second.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Helium is the only element on the planet that is an utterly nonrenewable resource<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#4 What is The Difference Between Helium and Hydrogen?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Helium and hydrogen are the first elements on the periodic table; both belong to the s-block of the periodic table. Therefore, they are the smallest and lightest atoms on earth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
