Helium (#2 in the Periodic Table) is more or less inert, but can be made to react with other substances under certain conditions.
In any case, it is the second smallest atom (the extremely reactive hydrogen being the smallest), and can be considered pretty much unreactive due to its complete outer shell of 2 electrons, since it has only one shell.

Which atom is more chemically reactive an atom with a partly filled energy level or an atom with all energy levels completely filled and why?
If all the electron orbitals are filled then the atom is inert. It will not chemically react with anything. If an atom has empty spaces in the outer orbit, it will react with other elements. Electrons from other elements can share positions in the outer orbits.
If the outer shell of the atom is full it react readily with other atoms?
If the outer shell of the atom is full, it ________ react readily with other atoms.Answer - Does not!
How likely an atom is to react?
an atom is very likely to recat as it consists of two nuclears one aton morinal and the second continal atom. these two react with sulphuric acid along with H2
Why atom react with other atom?
This is because they want a full electrons of outermost shell
The ions that are formed when calcium atom and oxygen atom react?
Calcium cation is Ca2+ and oxygen anion is O2-.
What would happen if an atom of fluorine cameinto contact with an atom from neon?
Nothing :) Neon is a noble gas, meaning that it doesn't react with anything.

How do you determine if an a atom like Na will react?
You consider its position in the periodic table and follow the octet rule. Na is an alkaline metal, and the characteristics of these are that they will almost react with anything, especially water.
What is formed when a sodium atom and a chlorine atom react chemically?
study
What is formed when a sodium atom and chlorine atom react chemically?
study
When will an atom react with another atom?
Two atoms will react if in so doing both will obtain completely filled outer shells.
Describe the type of electron configuration that makes an atom stable and not likely to react?
When the highest occupied energy level of an atom is filled with electrons, the atom is stable and not likely to react.
If the outer shell of the atom is full it react readily with other atoms?
If the outer shell of the atom is full, it ________ react readily with other atoms.Answer - Does not!
What gives an atom the ability to react with another atom to form a compound?
its electrons

Does argon react with acid?
It does react with anything
Why do atom react with other atom?
This is because they want a full electrons of outermost shell
