What atom would be created if chlorine fused with helium?
Helium is an inert gas meaning that it will not combine with other elements or compounds. More specifically, chlorine will not bond with helium. But, if it did, as could happen in a supernova explosion, since chlorine is 17 on the periodic chart, and helium is 2, when they fuse they would create an atom of potassium which is 19.
What is the element name for He?
Helium Helium
What element has 2 protons 1 neutron and 2 electrons?
Helium has 2 protons, 2 neutrons and 2 electrons. The symbol for helium is He and the atomic number is 2.
What is the valency of helium?
The valency of Helium is 0
Is a helium a metal or nonmetal?
Helium is a nonmetal. Think about the helium balloon!
Is there a chance of fire or explosion if helium gas is exposed to molten aluminum?
Helium is non-reactive, there is no chance of it exploding.
How does explosions take place on Sun?
When the hydrogen atoms fuse (join together) they make a explosion, the explosion gives out lots of helium
Is the sun liqid?
no, it's a constant explosion by gases known as helium, hydrogen. it is a fire, not a liquid.
What are the byproducts of Supernovae?
All the elements of the periodic table apart from hydrogen and helium are synthesised in the explosion of a supernova.

What element is colorless gas and used in balloons?
'Helium' because it is also an INERT (Noble) gas. Hydrogen could be used to make the balloon float/rise, but hydrogen is a flammable gas. On explosion you will have a flash of flame.
The energy in the sun is created by?
Nuclear fusion. Hydrogen atoms combine to become helium, and as a product if that reaction a tiny amount of energy is released as an explosion.
What makes a red giant red?
The star losses its fuel and in helium in the core starts to turn into iron atoms making it expand with an violent explosion
Why are birthday balloons filled with helium rather than hydrogen?
Although hydrogen is lighter than helium, so it could be used in a balloon, hydrogen burns very easily, so if it was exposed in heat it would create an explosion.
Why is hot air better than helium in hot air balloons?
Hot air balloons use hot air. They have a burner to heat the air. Hydrogen balloons were too dangerous because hydrogen is highly flammable, even static electricity could cause an explosion. Helium is safer because helium is not flammable.
What are the products of nuclear fusion in a hydrogen bomb?
The nuclear fusion uses Hydrogen to produce Helium. The fusion also releases a lot of energy, which is what causes the explosion.
Will a helium tank explode?
It can. Helium is compressed and put into tanks under pressure. The tanks are tested and all that to insure they're safe, but if they are exposed to intense heat or severe mechanical shock, or if they have a defect, they can fail. This is a mechanical failure and there will be a tremendous release of mechanical energy - a blast. But this explosion is different than a chemical explosion due to combustion or oxidation of the gas, like with a propane tank. Helium is an inert gas, and it cannot explode chemically. But make no mistake about it - tank failure under pressure can have dire consequences. People have been killed in the explosion of compressed gas cylinders, even when the gas isn't combustible.
