Where is Helium found?
The second-most abundant element found in the universe, helium, constitutes 23% of baryonic gases. This huge amount was formed with the Big Bang. Most of the helium found on earth can be traced to natural gas reserves, but minute quantities can also be attributed to natural springs, volcanic gases, etc. Helium is accumulated in natural gas reserves as a product of radioactive decay. Over a period of time, small atoms of helium are released in the atmosphere. Such deposits are found in Russia, Algeria, Canada and China. Helium is available in large amounts, below the American Great Plains in the United States, which alone accounts for 11 billion cubic meters of helium resources. Uses of Helium • Being lighter than air, helium is widely used in airships and balloons. It’s also used to pressurize liquid-fueled rocket tanks. • In metallurgy, it is used to prevent oxidization during the process of welding of metals such as aluminum, copper and magnesium. • As it is less soluble in blood and
Lancenigo di Villorba (TV), Italy HELIUM is a Chemical Element having Atomic Number like 2. Its name comes from Greek word meaning “SUN”. At the endings of XX century, spectroscopic studies about Sun-Rayons stated (englishman Ramsay) that it involves an unknown matters at that times. In succeeding times, they found it in Earth Planet like traces. Its PUREST FORM IS A GAS ABLE TO FILL BALLOONs AND AFFECT MALE VOICE ONCE THEY INSPIRE. LYTHIUM is a Chemical Element having Atomic Number like 3. Its name comes from Greek word meaning “STONE”. Scientists discovered it from analysis of certain minerals. Its chemical behaviour results very similar to Sodium and Potassium. Its PUREST FORM IS A METAL ABLE TO REACTS AGAINST WATER AND MOISTURE. I hope this helps you.
