Well it is partly true. Helium has physical properties like density, boiling point, conductivity etc. But it has no chemical property.

Name one chemical property of helium?

Helium is about as inert as it's possible for a substance to be. It does form associations... it's not really proper to call them 'compounds'... with other atoms under certain very weird conditions, but these are not stable. It's considered at least theoretically possible for true compounds of helium to exist with the formation of helium-oxygen bonds, but as far as I know none have ever been produced experimentally. For the most part, it's not far off the mark to say that helium has no chemical properties, because it's completely unaffected by chemical processes.


Why is it wrong to say that 50c helium is twice as hot as 25c helium?

Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, not its concentration or quantity. Saying that 50°C helium is twice as hot as 25°C helium is incorrect because temperature is not a quantity that can be doubled or halved in that manner.


Could any element replace helium?

That depends, if you were going to use it to inflate a balloon, there's other gases to do that. But if you need it for a chemical reaction then I would say no. Helium will be gone 4 years from now which will be 2015. Perhaps the next best thing is to search the gas in another planet which have an atmosphere and same conditions as the Earth. God bless the sentient race.


Where is helium useally found?

Helium is usually found in natural gas deposits underground. It is produced as a byproduct of the natural decay of radioactive elements, mainly uranium and thorium, which release helium gas as they break down.


Is the sun made up of mostly hydrogen?

Essentially yes; the sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion with hydrogen being converted to helium.

Would it be correct to say that helium has no chemical properties?

no


Helium does not react with any other substance Is it accurate to say that helium has no chemical properties?

No, helium is a noble gas on the periodic table of elements and is combustible which is a property of a gas.Additional answer to correct the aboveHelium is indeed a noble gas, which means it won't react with anything. Furthermore, it's not correct to say combustibility is a property of a gas, because there are plenty of gases which are not combustible, for example carbon dioxide, argon, neon, etc.


Why it would be coreect to say that helium has chemical properties?

But of course. One of its properties is that it is very unreactive.

Is crystalline silicon a Metal?

This depends on whom you ask. Astrophysicists say yes because it isn't hydrogen or helium. Materials scientists could call it a metalloid, because it has some metallic properties, and some non-metallic properties. Most scientists would say no because they think of it in terms of its non-metal properties. So you can pick your own answer!
