How does air components not being isolated in layers due to them specific gravities?

If you free a Helium balloon in the air it would go up. Why this does not happen to all Helium of the air, and so on for other air elements to be arranged from the heavier to the lighter. The heavier to be the nearest to the earth surface and the lighter to be far of the surface. The case is air components are mixed, how?

  1. It's because Helium is not very abundant in Earth Atmosphere. Only 0.000524%. And besides that our atmosphere isn't fixed. It's constantly moving and mixing.
