there is no chemical reaction which ionises helim. the ionization energy is 2372 kJ/mol which is the highest of all the elements. The He+ ion can be formed in for example plasmas. He2+ can also be formed - this is the bare nucleus containing two protons.

Does helium form an ionic or covalent bond?
Helium is an inert gas.
Why doesn't helium make an ionic compound with oxygen?
yes it schould be
What type of molecules is helium likely to form?
Helium does not form any compounds.
What is a compound with helium in it?
helium doesn't form compounds
When are hydrogen and helium form?
Hydrogen and helium are formed in Sun.
Does helium form an ionic or covalent bond?
Helium is an inert gas.
Out of iodine cesium and helium what is to form a ionic compound with chlorine?
Cesium chloride is ionic.
Why doesn't potassium and helium form an ionic bond?
because potassium is the total opposite of ionic bond
Why potassium and Helium not likely to form and ionic bond?
helium has completely filled orbitals and does not react with any element.
Is He convalent or ionic?
He, helium, is an element. It is a noble gas and it does not form any chemical compounds.
Which element is likely to form an ionic compound with chlorine iodine cesium helium or iron?
Metals form ionic compounds with non metals. Fe is a metal. So it is likely to make ionic bonds with Cl.
Would helium with two outer electrons form an ionic bond?
Helium is a mono-atomic element and has completely filled s-orbitals. So it is stable and non-reactive (chemically inert). Hence helium will not form any type of bonds with other elements.
Can helium and chlorine combine to form an ionic compound?
No, it rarely bonds with other elements, and if it does the only one it would bond with would be Fluorine, which they have done before, and if and when it bonds with fluorine and/or oxygen, it would form a covalent bond. If you were to to take either of the two elements and try to perform an chemical reaction, when you find the electro negativity (ΔEn, which is equal to En2-En1) you will notice that it will fall below 0.5 or greater than 1.7 , which will be a covalent bond (an ionic bond will be between 0.5 and 1.7).
Is helium a ionic or covalent bond?
Covalent Bond
Why dont potassium and helium make an ionic bond?
Helium has a stable (full) valence shell (1s2) which means that it will have a high ionization energy (the energy required to remove an electron). In fact, helium has the highest ionization energy of any element. However, this does not mean that helium cannot form ions. It just means that it will require a lot of energy to do so and this does not happen under normal conditions.
what is Helium about?
helium is after haydrogen it means hygrogen is lighter than helium. now the question arises that "Q.1"why we use helium instead of hydrogen coz hydrogen is lighter than helium. Ans.1:hydrogen has 1 electron in its 1st shell and helium has it's complete shell with two electron. When we fill hydrogen in the baloon they form ionic bond... so it is used double...
Why doesn't helium make an ionic compound with oxygen?
yes it schould be
