No. Helium is one of the "inert" gasses, also called "noble gasses", because they undergo virtually no chemical reactions at all.
Helium is odorless, tasteless, and based in its atomic number of 2 and atomic weight of 4, practically massless. Helium is very light, does not support combustion and does not support life. Helium is not poisonous, but if you are "huffing" from a helium balloon, you aren't getting any oxygen - and oxygen is one of the things that you need for life.
Warning! Taking one or two breaths from a helium balloon is harmless, because there is plenty of oxygen still left in your system. But there is no oxygen in a helium balloon.
Because it is completely inert, it does not bind at all with the body. So deep-sea divers use a mixture of helium and oxygen for their breathing tanks, because nitrogen in pressure causes "nitrogen narcosis" - the so-called "Rapture of the Deeps" - and oxygen is flat-out poisonous at high pressures. So divers use a mixture of 95% helium and 5% (or less!) oxygen for long-duration, high-pressure diving.

What does hydrogen and helium look like?
It has got different discrete line in it, way more than hydrogen's spectra. I think there are 3 violet line bunched up close together, 2 blue lines, 3 yellow/orange line and a single red line.
What are the symbols for hydrogen and helium?
The chemical symbol for helium is "He."
What is the simble for helium?
The symbol of Helium is He. Helium's atomic number is 2.
Is helium paramagnetic?
AnswerThere are two variants of helium -- helium 3 and helium 4. Helium 4 is not magnetic but helium 3 is. Its magnetism is, however, of different nature than e.g. that of iron. The magnetism of helium 3 is used for medical lung imaging.
Is helium a metal or a nonmetal?
Helium is a nonmetal. Think about the helium balloon!
What is the smell of the element helium?
helium is odourless.
What is the descriptoin of helium?
helium is a gas that has no smell or tast and you can not see it
Does hydrogen and helium gas smell?
No. both are odourless gases.
What colortexturehardnesssmell of helium?
At room temperature, helium has no smell. No color. It is a gas, and thus has no hardness, and cannot be touched any more than air can be touched, so no texture.
Do ping pong balls contain helium?
Nope, just plain old air. Although they smell weird on the inside, it is only air.
What is the element name for He?
Helium Helium

Do you mean helium? Helium is an element, so it's made of .... helium!
Is the difference between helium in a jar in helium?
helium in a jar diff from helium atom
What element has 2 protons 1 neutron and 2 electrons?
