Helium is the element commonly used to fill balloons to make them float. It is lighter than air and creates lift within the balloon, causing it to rise.

Helium has the chemical symbol He. It is a noble gas that is lighter than air and is commonly used in balloons and airships due to its low density.
Helium gas is most commonly used to fill balloons to make them float. Helium is lighter than air, which causes the balloon to rise and float.
Yes, helium is lighter than nitrogen. Helium is the second lightest element, while nitrogen is a bit heavier due to its molecular structure. In fact, helium is the lightest noble gas and is commonly used in balloons for this reason.
The element used in lighter flints and carbon-arc lamps is cerium. It is a rare earth metal that creates sparks when struck against a rough surface, making it ideal for ignition systems in lighters. In carbon-arc lamps, cerium is used as part of the electrode material to create an arc of light when an electric current passes through it.
Mischmetal is a rare earth element alloy used in the production of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. It helps to improve the properties of these alloys, such as strength and heat resistance. Additionally, mischmetal is utilized in the manufacturing of lighter flints and as a pyrophoric alloy in lighters.

If you buy the lighter, it comes with the case (the outer part of the lighter), the lighter (the inner piece where the wick comes out of the chimney), one wick, one flint, and the filler material that you put fluid onto. You can also purchase kist that come with spare wicks, flints, and a can of Zippo brand fluid. When I bought mine they did not offer the kits, so I bought the lighter, some fluid, some wicks, and some flints and it was under $40 for the whole mess.
Flint is used to produce sparks to ignite powder.
Ferocerium, which is a alloy composing of 19% Iron, 38% Cerium, 22% Lanthanum, 4% Neodymium, 4% Praseodymium and 4% Magnesium
hope not. mine in the 70's operated just like a zippo. liquid fuel and flints, available in tobacco shops
The element that is used in the Goodyear blimp and other dirigibles is helium. This gas is lighter than air and causes the blimp to rise.
A compound is not lighter than an element, if that element is part of the compound. Some compounds, like H2O would be lighter than, say, the element lead, but it is not lighter than the elements that make it up, i.e. hydgrogen and/or oxygen.
One way to determine if one element is lighter than another is by comparing their atomic masses. The element with the lower atomic mass is generally lighter. Another way is to compare their densities - the element with the lower density is generally lighter.
The one thing you'll need to buy before using it is lighter fluid. Zippo lighters come empty and you'll need to fill it. You should try and use only Zippo Lighter fluid which you can find at any cigar shop, most convenient stores and most supermarkets. As time wears on, you'll need to purchase flints and wicks but these take a while to wear down. If you're buying online, you may want to purchase these 2 items (flints and wicks), at the time you buy your lighter to save on shipping.
Boron is lighter than carbon and uranium.
