No, helium is a noble gas, meaning it has a full outer electron shell. It does not need to gain or lose electrons to become stable, so it is almost completely inert. Hydrogen on the other hand, is extremely reactive as it only needs one electron to become stable. This is why the Hindenburg airship exploded, and why we use helium in similar craft today.

∙ 8y agoHelium is a Noble Gas, so it cannot be more reactive than magnesium. Because Helium has a stable octet (8 electrons in its valence shell), it does not want to take or receive electrons and bond with others (react).

Is silver more reactive then magnesium?
No. Magnesium is far more reactive than silver. Silver is one of the least reactive metals.
Is argon or magnesium more reactive with oxygen?
Argon is a Non-Reactive Element. Magnesium is a very Reactive Element. Magnesium will react violently when ignited in an Oxygen rich environment.
Is iron more reactive than magnesium?
In a short answer No. But I can't really explain why.
Is uranium more reactive than magnesium explain?
Uranium electronegativity (Pauling's Scale): 1.38 Magnesium electronegativity (Pauling's scale: 1.31 As a result, uranium is a slightly more reactive than magnesium.
Is helium more reactive than argon?
No. Both helium and argon are chemically inert.
Is magnesium more reactive than sodium?
sodium is more reactive than magnesium!
Is Sodium is more reactive than magnesium.?
sodium is more reactive than magnesium!
Is magnesium highly reactive or non reactive?
Magnesium is one of the more reactive metals; it rarely exists in nature elementally.
Is silver more reactive then magnesium?
No. Magnesium is far more reactive than silver. Silver is one of the least reactive metals.
Is magnesium more reactive than lithium?
Lithium is more reactive to water than magnesium because while Lithium will explode and generally destroy the container it is in, magnesium will cause the water to violently bubble.
Is argon or magnesium more reactive with oxygen?
Argon is a Non-Reactive Element. Magnesium is a very Reactive Element. Magnesium will react violently when ignited in an Oxygen rich environment.
How do you prepare magnesium sulphate in lab?
Mix magnesium powder with copper sulphate. The more reactive magnesium will displace the less reactive copper.
What element is most reactive sodium magnesium or iron?
Sodium is more reactive than either magnesium or iron.
Is helium reactive or non reactive?
helium is non reactive.
Which of the following elements is the least reactive?
Helium is least reactive element.It forms no compounds.Platinum is least reactive metal.
Why isn't carbon present in magnesium?
carbon is more reactive than magnesium
Is iron more reactive than magnesium?
In a short answer No. But I can't really explain why.
