Helium is a group 8 element, and therefore a noble gas. It has no free electrons to bond to oxygen, therefore it won't oxidise or combust. So no, it won't.
As a side note, you may hear of stars "burning" helium, but this Ian burning, its nuclear fission :)
Neither, because it dies out. See the answer to the question "what happens to a glowing splint....."
The splint test is to test for the presence of oxygen. You light a small piece of wood (the splint), then blow it out. The end of the wood will still glow. If you put the glowing splint into a test tube with oxygen, it will relight. It you put the glowing splint into a test tube with carbon dioxide, it will stop glowing. A better test for carbon dioxide is to bubble it through a solution of limewater.
the positive test for oxygen is very simple. all that needs to happen is a vile must be filled 1/4 with hydrogen peroxide and a glowing splint must be inserted in t the vile . the splint will reignite after it is inserted int the vile.
OXYGEN RELIGHTS A GLOWING SPLINT Oxygen.
A relights glowing splint is used in qualitative analysis to test for the presence of flammable gases. The splint is ignited and placed next to the gas being tested; if the gas is flammable, it will ignite the splint, indicating its presence.

In a positive test for oxygen gas, a glowing splint inserted into a test tube of the gas will reignite, indicating the presence of oxygen. This is a characteristic test for the presence of oxygen, as the gas supports combustion.
it goes out A glowing splint needs oxygen to basically keep glowing. It is a small fire in a way. When the glowing splint is added into an environment full of carbon dioxide, the splint goes out. Carbon dioxide in this case smothers the flame restricting the use of oxygen in combustion thus putting the flame out.
A glowing splint exposed to pure oxygen will burst into flames because the process of combustion will be greatly accelerated. The glowing splint exists in a normal atmosphere comprised of approximately 20% oxygen. Think of the effect of fanning over glowing embers in order to restart a fire. You are 'pushing' more oxygen over the embers. Exposing a glowing splint to 100% oxygen has an even greater effect.
If a test tube is filled with oxygen when you put a glowing splint into it, the splint will relight. (To make the splint glow you have to light it then blow it out and put it into the test tube immediately.) Hope this helps. XD XD
To identify gases using a wooden splint and a flame, you can perform two tests: For hydrogen, introduce a lit wooden splint to the gas; if it produces a characteristic "pop" sound, hydrogen is present. For oxygen, place a glowing (but not burning) wooden splint into the gas; if it reignites, oxygen is confirmed. For carbon dioxide, passing the gas over a glowing splint will extinguish it, indicating the presence of carbon dioxide.
One way to test for the presence of oxygen gas is to use a glowing splint test. If the gas is oxygen, the glowing splint will relight when introduced into the gas due to oxygen's ability to support combustion.
