How Helium was MadeHelium is made in nature when two Hydrogen atoms, (also a gas) combine at the atomic level. This combination can take place when Hydrogen particles collide at great speed or under extreme pressure. Helium is the second most abundant substance in the observable universe. Hydrogen is the most abundant.
  • Helium is already 'made' and its only form is a gas. It is a natural gas and on the Periodic Table of Elements.

EmoLord777: Helium is also contained of 33.333% postitive atoms, 33.333% negitave atoms, and 33.333% neutral atoms.

Helium forms by two different processes:

  • In stars by hydrogen fusion at enormous temperature & pressure.
  • On earth by alpha decay of uranium and its daughter nuclides. The alpha particles rapidly acquire electrons, becoming neutral helium atoms.
