Helium gas

Helium gas is so cool, and it can do so many different things. Let’s learn a little more about this special gas with five sections that explain what helium is, where it comes from, and how important it is. Where does helium come from? Helium gas is a type of gas that we can’t see or smell. It is extremely light and has many unique properties.

History

Way back in 1868, a French scientist named Jules Janssen found helium in the sun. After this great discovery, people began to find helium in rocks and pure gas on Earth. But where does all that helium come from? Well, helium is formed. It drifts into a gas when certain things in rocks break down. This mainly happens when rocks composed of uranium and thorium decay over millions of years. Whenever these substances split, they emit tiny particles called alpha particles.  AGEM Helium is quite small, and they combine with electrons, which are even tinier, to form helium atoms.
