Why helium does not combine with other elements?

Helium has completely filled valence orbitals, is stable and chemically inert.


34)why The naturally occurring helium atom is chemically inert?

Helium has completely filled orbitals and is hence chemically inert.


What kind of bonds do helium atoms form?

helium has completely filled valence electrons. hence it are stable, chemically inert and do not form compounds.


What is helium's most common diatomic bond?

None. Helium has completely filled orbitals it is stable and chemically inert (non-reactive). So, helium exists as mono atomic and not as a diatomic species.


What are the similarity's of neon and helium?

Both are noble gases, have completely filled valence orbitals and hence are stable and chemically inert.


Why is helium non-reactive?

Helium is nonreactive because of its full outer shell of electrons and forms no compounds.


Why helium don't have chemical properties?

The only significant chemical property of helium is that it does not undergo chemical reactions.


Is helium active or inactive?

Helium has completely filled valence orbitals (and thus has stable electronic configuration). Hence is is chemically inert or inactive. In fact, helium doesn't react with any other element.


Is helium and neon active?

Noble gases (such as helium, neon, argon etc) have completely filled orbitals. They have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert (or do not react with other elements).


Can helium easily form compounds with other elements why or why not?

Helium has completely filled orbitals, is stable, has small size and is chemically inert. It doesn't form bond with any other element.


What formulas are helium used in?

Helium has completely filled orbitals and are stable and chemically inert (non-reactive). So generally it will not accept / gain / share electrons and wont form any compounds.


Why does helium exist only as single atoms?

Helium exists as single atoms because it is a noble gas, therefore it has a full outer shell.
