Answer:

Explanation: The density of gas differentiates all the varieties of gas present in the atmosphere.

HYDROGEN- it is a lighter gas having a lesser density.

For example, a hydrogen balloon displaces the air around it thus making it rise.

CARBON DIOXIDE: It is a denser gas as it makes the balloon heavier than the air pressure around it thus making it sink.

I hope the explanation was helpful. :)
