The noble gases are used in following ways:
(A) Helium
It is used to fill airships and observation balloons.
In the oxygen mixture of deep sea divers.
In treatment of asthma.
Used in inflating aeroplane tyres.
Used to provide inert atmosphere in melting and welding of easily oxidizable metals.
(B) Neon
It is used for filling discharge tubes, which have different characteristic colours and are used in advertising purposes.
Also used in beacon lights for safety of air navigators as the light possesses fog and stram perpetrating power.
