HELP TIMED !!!!

The helium used to fill birthday balloons doesn’t come out of the air, but fromout of the ground. Some of the gas might escape from the ground into theatmosphere, but the majority of it is trapped in Earth’s crust. Based on whatyou have learned in today’s lab, give a reasonable explanation for thepresence of helium gas in Earth’s crust.

Answer:

Helium is one of the lightest gas that is found to be stored in the interior of the earth's crust. This helium gas is formed from the constant radioactive decay process. During the time of radioactive decay, the radioactive elements decays and give rise to the formation of alpha particles, which are positively charged. When a pair of electrons are combined with these alpha particles then it produces helium atom.
