Helium is a chemical element of the atomic number 2, an inert gas that is the lightest member of the noble gas series.
These means, Helium is lighter than air, and for this is why all other balloons may not float.
The helium balloon displaces an amount of air (Just like an empty water bottle displaces an amount of water). As long as the weight of the helium plus the balloon fabric is lighter than the air displaces, the balloon will float in the air.

The answer is state.
That is the state would be least helpful in determining whether a substance is a metal or a nonmetal. The state can only tells that a compound is liquid, gas or solid. But it can't tell whether a substance is metal or non-metal. So it is the least helpful in determining whether a compound is metal or non-metal.
