The Helium gas will expand and rise into the suurounding the air as it is less dense and lighter air. Depending on the amount of helium and the size of the room the Helium could displace the breathable mix in the space and become a danger to health.

The helium would sit for a while because it is lighter than air, but eventually due to air currents, etc. it would diffuse into the atmosphere.

What atom would be created if chlorine fused with helium?

Helium is an inert gas meaning that it will not combine with other elements or compounds. More specifically, chlorine will not bond with helium. But, if it did, as could happen in a supernova explosion, since chlorine is 17 on the periodic chart, and helium is 2, when they fuse they would create an atom of potassium which is 19.
