When helium is used to fill a balloon, it expands to fill the space inside the balloon due to its low density. The helium gas takes the shape of the balloon because it moves and distributes evenly throughout the balloon's interior.
well basically if you dissolve any liquid in yeast and warm water gas will typically rise from the mixture and supposedly fill a balloon with gas...keep in mind I'm only in the 5th grade...
Helium and hydrogen are commonly used gases to lift a balloon into the air. These gases are lighter than air, creating buoyancy that allows the balloon to float.
To inflate the balloon. Whether the gas is helium or just air from your lungs, gases are needed to inflate the balloon.
In a helium balloon- one that floats and rises to the ceiling it is elemental helium that is used to inflate the balloon. If you just blow into a balloon to inflate it then it is air inside the balloon which is a mixture of gases, principally nitrogen and oxygen (both elements). There are also other gases that are chemical compounds such as carbon dioxide.
Because the gases filling the balloon are lighter than the surrounding air.
When you fill a balloon with air, the air molecules displace the surrounding space inside the balloon, causing the balloon to expand and stretch. The pressure of the air inside the balloon exceeds the pressure outside, creating tension in the balloon material, which keeps it inflated.
Any Gas with a lower density than 1.2kg/m^3 will make a balloon rise. However I think you are talking about helium. Gases that are lighter than air like Hydrogen etc Helium Is the lighter than air gas that is used to fill party balloon's it is an inert gas, that is it doesn't burn unlike Hydrogen which is the gas that was used in the Hindenburg air ship.

The air in the balloon will have a difficult time expanding to fill the bottle because the bottle is already filled with air at atmospheric pressure, which creates resistance. The pressure inside the balloon needs to overcome the pressure inside the bottle in order for the balloon to expand and fill the bottle.
helium. :)
Helium is the gas most commonly used to fill balloons for them to float. It is lighter than air, so it provides lift when contained within a balloon. Hydrogen gas can also be used, but it is flammable, which makes it less commonly used than helium.
