Gases in Balloon for Inflation.

Which gases from the periodic table (oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, inert gases, nobel gases etc.) can a balloon be filled up?

Thanks & Regards,

Any of those gases can fill up a balloon, including the heaviest of all gases, radon, can fill up a balloon.

Thanks.

Which gas/es filled up in Balloon would be most preferrable in Mars planet?

All 11 gases Or specific gas/es?

Thanks & Regards,

Thanks.

All other 10 gases in the periodic table of elements if are used in Balloon inflation will not float the Balloon in the Martian Atmosphere?

All other 10 gases except Helium in the periodic table of elements if are used in Balloon inflation will not float the Balloon in the Martian Atmosphere?

Thanks.

I mean we trace the reasons as why we cannot use any other gas in the periodic table of elements other than Helium for Balloon inflation in martian atmosphere.

Why not Hydrogen Reason?
Why not Oxygen Reason?
Why not Nitrogen Reason ?
Why not Fluorine Reason ?
Why not Chlorine Reason ?
Why not Argon Reason ?
Why not Krypton Reason ?
Why not Xenon Reason ?
Why not Radon Reason ?
Why not Neon Reason ?

Hydrogen gas would float on Mars if used to fill a balloon.

Hydrogen is the lightest gas and has a very low atomic mass. On Mars, where the gravity is only about 38% of the gravity on Earth, hydrogen gas would have enough buoyancy to lift a balloon. However, it is important to note that hydrogen is highly flammable and explosive, and its use as a lifting gas poses significant safety risks. Therefore, other gases like helium or hot air are typically used for balloons and airships.

Thanks.

So Hydrogen gas can be used for inflating the balloon in Martian Atmosphere but it could be risky.

How we can do risk management in this case?

It's best NOT to use; in fact, its use as a lifting gas is rare and limited to specialized applications where the risks can be carefully managed. For example, it must be liquified under pressure, and be stored in large containers made of alloys that can't be ionized. For example, spaceships use liquid hydrogen that must be stored at minus 423°F and handled with extreme care. To keep it from evaporating or boiling off, rockets fueled with liquid hydrogen must be carefully insulated from all sources of heat, such as rocket engine exhaust and air friction during flight through the atmosphere.
