Best Answer

Helium ions can be synthesized by removing electrons from a helium atom and it would need a tremendous energy.

Does helium form ions and covalent bonds with chlorine?

No. Helium does not bond with anything.


What is helium's type of ion?

Helium is chemically inert and does not form any type of ions.


What type of ion is formed with helium?

Yes, helium can be induced to ionize (form ions) by applying a voltage across the gas in a plasma discharge tube, e.g. a "neon" sign. But under ordinary chemical conditions, helium does not ionize or form bonds (share its electrons) with other atoms.


What is atomicity of helium?

Helium is chemically inert as it has completely filled s-orbital. Helium will not form ions or compounds. Hence helium is MONO ATOMIC.

H-, Li+, Be2+ ions are isoelectronic with helium


What ions are emitted by the sun?

many, but mostly hydrogen and helium.


Why doesn't helium have an electrical charges?

Helium has completely filled orbitals, are stable. hence they do not form ions and dont have electrical charges.


Does the sun have electrons in it?

yes obviously.sun consist with hydrozen, helium and the other gas and their ions.


Which noble gas has the same number of electrons as an ion of barium?

There is no such noble gas with the same electron configuration as helium ion. Helium is the first noble gas, is stable and does not form ions. There can be, however, other ions such as H- or Li+ that will have the same number of electrons as element helium.


What is done to a helium atom to create a helium ion?

In simplest terms, an ion occurs when an atom has a different number of electrons than expected. Ions can be either positively or negatively charged. (If # of electrons goes up, then the charge becomes more negative, if the # of electrons goes down, the charge becomes more positive.) Therefore theoretically a helium atom would have to either gain electrons (for a total of 3 or more electrons), or lose electrons (for a total of 1 or 0 electrons). Speaking about the helium atom specifically, you won't see ions of helium as commonly as you would see ions of other atoms due to the very high ionization energy required for the 1st electron and the essentially nonexistent electroegativity(Pauling scale). There are antiprotonic helium ions (where an antiproton orbits a helium nucleus). Refer to studies conducted 2005-2006 by CERN on anitprotons and antiprotonic helium.


What atom contains 1 electron and 2 protons?

None, for it to be an atom it has the have the same number of electrons and protons. Something with 1 electron and 2 protons would theoretically be a helium ion but helium does not form ions.
