it would have to lose an electron to become an ion as it allredy has a full outershell, for every electron lost the He will gain a charge of +1, but this would be very difficult to obtain as its ionisation energy is very high, in the Periodic Table ionisation enerygy goes up as you go across the period (from left to right the amount of nuclear charge increases) and it also goes up as you go up a group (as you go up a group the amount of inner sheilding ans distance between outer electron and nucleus decreses, increasing nuclear charge and decreasing shielding and distance all increase ionisation energy) and He is right in the top right corner, Helium has the highest first ionisation energy (ionisation energy is the amount of energy needed to remove one electron from each atom in 1 mole of an element in an gaseous state). the charge of its ion will completely depend on how many electrons it has lost.

What is heliums ionic charge and electro-negativity?
Helium has no net electric charge. And its electronegativity is zero.
What ion charge does a regular helium atom have?
A regular helium atom (He) has no ionic charge. The element in its standard form as it appears on the period table and in our everyday environment has two protons and two electrons. The positive charge of the protons cancel out the negative charge of the electrons, and so there is no charge left. Furthermore, helium is a noble gas, a family of elements which are extremely stable and will not react with anything under normal circumstances. If, however, an atom of helium where ionized in a lab, and stripped of its electrons, it would have a charge of plus two.
What will happen if an electron is brought near an alpha particle?
The alpha particle will grab the electron, making it a part of its electron cloud.? As a result, the helium atom (which is what an alpha particle is) transitions from a +2 charge to a +1 charge.?A second electron will bring the helium atom to neutral, non-ionic, charge.
Does helium form an ionic or covalent bond?
Helium is an inert gas.
Does helium of a charge?
Helium atom has no charge as all atoms are electrically neutral. But the nuclear charge of helium is 2 as it has 2 protons in its nucleus.

What is helium's charge?
helium`s charge is H+, is a positive charge

In ionic chlorine compounds, the ionic charge of chlorine is -1.
What is the charge of a neutron in helium?
no charge
What is an ionic number?
The ionic number is the positive or negetive charge an element has, such as Lithium has an ionic charge of +1.
