Wouldn't the rest of the outer limits also likewise escape into space?

: By what mechanism does helium escape into space? It is lighter than other gas molecules, thereby enabling it to rise to the top of the atmosphere, but it does not have antigravitational properties which enable it to "escape" into space.

Wouldn't the rest of the outer limits also likewise escape into space? And as the atmosphere escaped, would we have less and less until none remained?
