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.

What is the element with the highest ionization energy?
fluorine bromine chlorine
Which two elements would NOT be capable of forming an ionic bond?
It would be Phosphorus (P) and chlorine (Cl).
What would happen if you poured liquid helium into liquid nitrogen?
The liquid helium would boil and evaporate.
James is holding a balloon that contains 0.54g of helium gas What amount of helium is this?
If James is holding that much helium, he would be talking funny
Is chlorine a cancer causing agent?
Chlorine elementally? No - that would almost be a contradiction of the nature of chlorine. But chlorine in combination with other elements (chlorine compounds of various types) are implicated in many kinds of cancers.
What exactly is helium ash?
Helium ash is merely helium. Helium is commonly referred to as ash in discussions of our sun's fuel (and others stars of similar size/composition) to indicate that it cannot burn (or really cannot be fused into a larger atomic element). Our sun fuses hydrogen into helium at its core but the temperatures and pressures are not high enough to fuse helium, so it is called ash. If the core had a higher temperature/pressure, the helium would be fused into a larger element (carbon), something that happens with more massive stars. In such a star it would not be called ash because the conditions would be such that it could be fused ("burned"), so it would merely be called helium.
What is the element with the highest ionization energy?
fluorine bromine chlorine
What substances make up most of the solar system?
That would be the hydrogen in the sun. The second most plentiful substancein the solar system would be the helium in the sun, being the fused hydrogen.
Which elements in the periodic table would sodium like to react with to form a new compound helium argon iron chlorine?
sodium will react chlorine to form sodium chloride
Why would white dwarf stars have less amount hydrogen?
A white dwarf is the remnant of a star that has fused all the hydrogen and helium in its core, leaving mostly carbon and oxygen nuclei.
Where did flourine come from?
Elements heavier than hydrogen were created over millions of years of nuclear fusion at the center of stars around the universe. As hydrogen nuclei are fused, they create helium atoms that can in turn also be fused under extreme amounts of pressure and temperature to make heavier elements, the cycle continues until elements such as iron are created at which point the star usually collapses. Elements more dense than this are created at the center of exploding stars under the pressure of one of the more powerful forces of the universe. Florine, being lighter than iron would be in the first category, having been fused from two other elements at the center of still active stars.
Will helium kill humans?
An environment of helium could be fatal if it excluded oxygen to the degree that humans would be suffocated. Those squeaky voices in cartoons are often created by people breathing helium before speaking. However, they don't breathe helium for extended periods.
Is the sun made out of burning gasses and why?
helium is made from the sun from the atmosphere and is believed to have a percentage of 70 percent. Well, actually, helium isn't made in the sun. But even then, the atmosphere of the sun is actually made up of 54% helium to be exact. (Not far off from what you said, though.) Correction: Helium IS produced in the sun! hydrogen is fused into helium and this liberates large amounts of energy.
Which element is most likely a nonmental?
Any of the Halogens (Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, and Astatine) or Noble Gases (Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon) would be considered a nonmetal.
Is hydrogen more explosive than helium?
No. The single largest release of energy from combining 2 of the same nuclei is for hydrogen nuclei. However it is unlikely that 2 helium nuclei would fuse directly anyway, as the double positive charges on each would strongly repel each other. It is more likely the heavier elements would be formed as single protons, neutrons and deutirium nuclei fused with helium nuclei. Helium fusion of 2 helium atoms is a "prohibited" process, its product is a radioactive isotope of beryllium that decays back to helium before it could get a chance to fuse with anything. To fuse helium you must get up to a very high density, pressure, and temperature where the very rare fusion reaction of 3 helium atoms simultaneously into carbon occurs. This reaction is what fuels the white hot core of red giants and heats their inner layers enough to expand their photosphere into gigantic size where it cools to red heat. All following elements are produced from stages of fusion of pairs of nuclei until iron is produced, which cannot be fused. Elements between direct fusion products are produced mostly from neutron captures and radioactive decay. Elements past nickel and iron can only be produced in supernova explosions.
If two hydrogen atoms were fused would the fused atom still bond with an oxygen atom to create water?
yes
What if if all your bones was fused together?
You would die.
