Helium is a group 8 element, and therefore a noble gas. It has no free electrons to bond to oxygen, therefore it won't oxidise or combust. So no, it won't.
As a side note, you may hear of stars "burning" helium, but this Ian burning, its nuclear fission :)

Why splint test for carbon dioxide is not good?
The splint test is to test for the presence of oxygen. You light a small piece of wood (the splint), then blow it out. The end of the wood will still glow. If you put the glowing splint into a test tube with oxygen, it will relight. It you put the glowing splint into a test tube with carbon dioxide, it will stop glowing. A better test for carbon dioxide is to bubble it through a solution of limewater.
What is a positive test for each of the following gases oxygen hydrogen carbon dioxide?
the positive test for oxygen is very simple. all that needs to happen is a vile must be filled 1/4 with hydrogen peroxide and a glowing splint must be inserted in t the vile . the splint will reignite after it is inserted int the vile.
What is relights glowing splint?
Oxygen can be used to relight a glowing splint, which is why if you blow on a fire, it temporarily increases in size.
What gas re lights a glowing splint?
OXYGEN RELIGHTS A GLOWING SPLINT Oxygen.
Would a glowing splint placed into carbon dioxide gas glow more brightly or reignite?
Neither, because it dies out. See the answer to the question "what happens to a glowing splint....."

What is the lab test for Oxygen?
The standard test for oxygen is that it relight a glowing splint.
Describe what happens in a positive test for oxygen gas?
You need to try and relight a glowing splint. If it does relight, then there is oxygen gas.
What effect does carbon dioxide has on burning splint?
it goes out A glowing splint needs oxygen to basically keep glowing. It is a small fire in a way. When the glowing splint is added into an environment full of carbon dioxide, the splint goes out. Carbon dioxide in this case smothers the flame restricting the use of oxygen in combustion thus putting the flame out.
What happened whe the glowing splint was inserted in then test tube containing hydrogen peroxide and manganese dioxide?
the glowing splint would ignite.
What gases will extinguish a burning splint?
carbon dioxide
How do you show a gas is oxygen?
Subject the gas to Flame test. The flame should glow more brilliantly. if you trap the gas in a test tube and place in a glowing splint the splint will relight itself.
