The bond order of helium (He) is 0. In a diatomic helium molecule (He₂), there are two electrons in the bonding molecular orbital and two electrons in the antibonding molecular orbital. The bond order is calculated as (number of bonding electrons - number of antibonding electrons) / 2, which results in (2 - 2) / 2 = 0. Therefore, He₂ does not form a stable bond.

What are 2 atoms that will not bond chemically?

Helium will not bond with anything. Platinum will bond only with fluorine (and under special conditions). So, helium and oxygen will not bond, platinum and silicon will not bond, etc.


What type of bond would likely form with Helium and Helium atoms?

No bond at all, He has a complete outer shell


What kind of bond does helium form?

Well, if you mean: "what kind of bond does helium form with other helium atoms?". Then i would have to say: "none". Helium is monoatomic gas (fancy words for: "it doesn't bond as the atomic layer (1st) is filled- with 2 electrons).


Does helium form an ionic or covalent bond?

Helium is an inert gas.


Does helium form ions and covalent bonds with chlorine?

No. Helium does not bond with anything.


Do helium and hydrogen bond together?

Helium does not form chemical bonds with other elements, including hydrogen. Hydrogen, however, can bond with other elements like oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen to form various compounds.


What bond does helium form?

It does not form bonds


What elements does helium bond with?

Helium is a noble gas and does not typically bond with other elements due to its stable electron configuration with a full outer shell. It exists as a monatomic gas and remains inert in most chemical reactions.


What type of bond would be formed between a carbon atom and a helium atom?

Helium will not react with carbon as helium is chemically inert.


Why helium is inert gas?

helium does not form bond with any other elements. hence it is an inert gas.
