Answer:

helium filled balloons tend to deflate over time faster than air filled balloons do because, the average velocity of helium molecules is higher than that of molecules of any gas found in air, so helium escapes through the pores in the balloon more quickly.

Step-by-step explanation:

after researching I found this and tried to respond as quickly as possible!! hope this helps but it has something to do with the molecules .
