It’s much heavier than air, so does it just like, stay close to the ground?

I also came here for this question. It's about 5x denser than air, wouldn't it just settle to the ground?

It might be heavier than air but it's still a gas so it's really light, weather events, temperature, wind will all cause enough turbulence to disperse a plume and vertical mixing will send it up into the atmosphere. Think about it like a pile of feathers, they are light and a good gust of wind will send them scattering.
