Is helium in a balloon an element or compound?

Helium inside a balloon would be considered a element. Hope this helps!

Every name in the Periodic Table of Elements is an element.

Unless it is combined with another name
e.g. Carbon + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

∴ Helium is an element.

Answer is: value of q is 5·10⁻⁶m.chemical reaction: mg²⁺(aq) + co₃²⁻(aq) → mgco₃(s).c(mg²⁺) = 2.5·10⁻³ m; concentration of magnesium cations.c(co₃²⁻) = 2.00·10⁻³ m; concentration of carbonate anions.q = c(mg²⁺)  · c(co₃²⁻).q = 2.5·10⁻³ m  · 2.00·10⁻³ m.q = 5·10⁻⁶m.q = 0.000005 m.
