Helium can be separated from other gasses in a mixture by at least 2 known methods.
By pressurising the helium, regulating tyhe pressure and directing it through a sealed semi-permeable membrane in a pressure housing.The helium molecule being smaller than any of the others (with the sole exeption of Hydrogen, passes through the membrane faster than other gas molecules,and is saved and pumped into storage,while the other gasses are vented off and dumped. The proportion dump gas,which contains some helium can be varied by altering a fine needle valve (variable orifice) .It is a trade off between purity and efficiency. this method reduces the "contaminants" in a helium mix,but does not totally seperate the mixture.This was first marketed for use in diving systems by GDS then Gas Services.
2. By passing it through an absorbent e.g. Molecular Sieve, such as in the "Kinergentics Inc" pressure swing system built in the 1980's
3. It's also possible to use cryogenics to freeze out the different gasses at their various temperatures.
The amount of helium compared to other elements differ but a nebula occurs so late in a stars lifetime that heavy elements have been synthesized. A nebula is thus often a complex combination of several elements mostly between helium and iron.
The Sun is primarily made up of hydrogen and helium, with smaller amounts of heavier elements such as carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen. These elements undergo nuclear fusion in the Sun's core to produce energy and light.
Helium has the least number of neutrons among the elements listed.
ONE, Helium is an element, not a molecule.
Hydrogen and helium
About 75% hydrogen and 25% helium, with some traces of heavier elements.

The Earth's lightest materials are typically made up of elements such as hydrogen and helium. These elements have low atomic numbers and are able to form very lightweight compounds like hydrogen gas and helium gas. This contributes to their overall low density and light weight.
Helium is one element and does not chemically react.
well the sun gets its name by just spiningb a star so its a star . comment please

No. Hydrogen and helium are separate elements. Elements do not contain other elements. But an element can give off or take electron from other elements.

No. Helium and Hydrogen are two different elements.
Helium as an element has been around since fusion began in stars, but it was discovered in 1868
