How is helium atom different from a hydrogen atom?

Helium has a nuclear charge of +2 and 2 electrons in a 1s orbital. Hydrogen has a nuclear charge of +1 and just one electron in a 1s orbital. The extra charge on the nuclees means that the electrons in He are more tightly bound than in hydrogen thuis reflected in the ionization energy of 2372 kJ/mol for He and about 1312 kJ/mol for hydrogen. For helium t the "outer shell" is full, a "stable " configuration.
