Helium is a chemical element, not a compound; also helium is monoatomic.

bacause it is a compound and a molecule
If HE was a compound it would be a compound of H (hydrogen) and E (sorry there is no such element).If HE is an element then it is misspelled and should be He (helium).
the difference between a molecule and a compound is the spelling.
molecule
Molecule
Helium itself is an element and it forms no chemical compound whatsoever, therefore, it is a noble gas. The atom of Helium is so inert that it cannot even form a molecule with another atom of Helium, hence is monoatomic.
The compound HeNe exist but it is difficult to obtain this molecule and is very unstable.
If your asking if a molecule or compound containing helium is a "bent" molecule like water, then the answer is no. Helium is one of the noble or inert gases, which fulfill the octet rule and do not need to bond in order to share or transfer electrons. Hence the noble gases and helium will not react, even with another atom of the same element. So in short, since helium won't bond with any other atom to become a molecule or compound, there is no way for it to be bent. Of course, I interpreted "bend" with the structure of a molecule... this may not be what you're looking for, in which case you will have to be more specific.
No. Helium is not an compound, it is a element.
Helium is not a compound, it is an element.
Helium is not a compound, it is an element.
Helium is an element and not a compound or mixture.
Water is both a compound and a molecule.
A molecule
Helium is an element.
No it is not, helium is an element. A compound is a combination of two or more elements.
