What is helium's favorite bonding partner?

Helium is an inert or noble gas. In any "normal" situation, it is unreactive and will not form chemical bonds. In certain situations where it is a plasma, helium could form a highly unstable compound with fluorine, iodine, phosphorus, sulfur or tungsten. These extremely tenuous compounds are called excimers, and they are generally only seen in the laboratory. Use the link below for more information.
