A trip down memory lane.
hydrogen atoms are very light (its atomic weight it 1 i think)
I think you'll find that the reason water vapour stays in the air has more to do with the density of water vapour, temperature, and air currents rather than atomic weight.
Dust, hail and snow are definately 'heavier' than air but that doesn't stop us getting dust clouds, snow and hail does it?
