DensityFor other meanings of density, see density (disambiguation Density (symbol: rho Greek: rho) is a measure of mass per unit of volume. The higher an object's density, the higher its mass per volume. The average density of an object equals its total mass div (0° CThe degree Celsius (°C) is a unit of temperature named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius ( 1701 1744), who first proposed it in 1742. The Celsius temperature scale was designed so that the freezing point of water is 0 degrees, and the boiling po, 1 atmWhen expressed as a measurement, an atmosphere is a unit of pressure based on the average atmospheric pressure at sea level on the earth. 1 atm : 101325 Pa 101325 kg/ m· s² 101325 N/ m² : 1013. 25 hPa 1013. 25 mbar : 101. 325 kPa : 1. 01325 bar : 760 torr) 0.179 gFor other meanings of gram see gram (disambiguation). The gram (also spelt gramme is a unit of measurement of mass, and is defined in the SI system of units as one thousandth of a kilogram. See 1 E -3 kg for comparisons with other masses. The symbol for g/ LThe litre (or liter in US) is a metric unit of volume. The litre is not an SI unit, but is "accepted for use with the International System". The symbol for the litre is the lowercase letter l or the uppercase letter L . A cursive or script small letter l

Melting pointThe melting point of a solid is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. When considered as the temperature of the reverse change, it is referred to as the freezing point . For example, the melting point of the element mercury is 23 (at 26 atmWhen expressed as a measurement, an atmosphere is a unit of pressure based on the average atmospheric pressure at sea level on the earth. 1 atm : 101325 Pa 101325 kg/ m· s² 101325 N/ m² : 1013. 25 hPa 1013. 25 mbar : 101. 325 kPa : 1. 01325 bar : 760 torr) 0.95 K (-272.2° C)

Helium is a colorless, odorless, tasteless chemical element, one of the noble gases of the periodic table of elements. Its boiling and melting points are the lowest among the elements; except in extreme conditions, it exists only as a gas. The second most abundant element in the universe, significant amounts are found on Earth only in natural gas. It is used in cryogenics, in deep-sea breathing systems, for inflating balloons, and as a protective gas for many purposes. Helium is not toxic and has no immediate biological effect except possible harm through oxygen deprivation.
