Helium is a good insulator. Why?

• Helium do not contains mobile ions

• Helium do not contains mobile electrons

• Helium is not inert

• Helium is light

Why is Helium used in divers' tank but not hydrogen gas?

• Helium is lighter than hydrogen

• Helium is inert to any chemical reactions

• Helium is cheaper

• Helium is easy to get from market

Argon (proton number =18) is inert to any chemical reaction because
