Helium is an atom. Heavier elements have molecules.

What is the mass of 2.50 mol of Helium?
Helium molecule is mono atomic. 1 mole = 6.023 x 1023 atoms of helium So, 2.5 moles = 2.5 x 6.023 x 1023 atoms of helium or 15.058 x 1023 atoms of helium
Is helium diatomic?
No. First consider two helium atoms, each has two electrons spin-paired in a filled 1s shell, for a total of 4 electrons. Now construct the molecular orbitals that a diatomic helium molecule would contain. To do so, you combine both 1s orbitals from the individual atoms. Combining two atomic orbitals gives two molecular orbitals (by orbital conservation). The in-phase overlap gives the bonding orbital (sigma 1s) and out-of-phase overlap gives the anti-bonding orbital (sigma* 1s). Filling in the two molecular orbitals from low energy to high energy (aufbau principle) populates the simga with two electrons and the sigma* with two electrons. Because the energy of the sigma and sigma* orbitals are equal, but opposite in sign, there is no net bond stabilization. I.e. no physical reason for Helium atoms to exist as diatomic molecules.
Is helium an ion?
Yes helium is an atom. It is stable. It is placed in group 18.Yes, helium is a monoatomic molecule. It is stable itself as it has already achieved maximum possible electrons in its outermost shell. It is the only element in group 18 without 8 electrons in valence shell.
What is the simble for helium?
The symbol of Helium is He. Helium's atomic number is 2.
Why can't He2 exist?
Helium exists in the form of He and not He2 because He has already stable,does not take part in a chemical reaction.But when one atom combines with other atom in a chemical reaction to form bond to complete its outermost shell and attain stabilty while He does not combine with other atom to form bond.This is the reason for helium does not exist in the form He2 or molecule form
What is helium plus helium?
When two helium atoms combine, they form a molecule of helium gas (He2), which is also known as a dihelium molecule. This molecule is quite rare and unstable under normal conditions, as helium typically exists as a monoatomic gas.
Is helium an element molecule or mixture?
Helium is an element.
How many elements does helium have?
ONE, Helium is an element, not a molecule.
Is He a molecule?

How many atoms are in a molecule of helium?
A molecule of helium is composed of two helium atoms.
Is helium a compound molecule?
Helium is a chemical element, not a compound; also helium is monoatomic.
Is He diatomic molecule?
Helium is monoatomic.
Helium molecule has how many atoms?
Helium does not form molecules but exists as individual atoms.
Is helium a element or molicles?
helium is an element, it is a mono atomic molecule, He2 .

What type of atom or molecule is a helium air in a balloon made of?

Does helium bend?
If your asking if a molecule or compound containing helium is a "bent" molecule like water, then the answer is no. Helium is one of the noble or inert gases, which fulfill the octet rule and do not need to bond in order to share or transfer electrons. Hence the noble gases and helium will not react, even with another atom of the same element. So in short, since helium won't bond with any other atom to become a molecule or compound, there is no way for it to be bent. Of course, I interpreted "bend" with the structure of a molecule... this may not be what you're looking for, in which case you will have to be more specific.
