What do not form bonds easily because it has a full outer shell aluminum carbon helium or calcium?

Helium


What type of ion is formed with helium?

Yes, helium can be induced to ionize (form ions) by applying a voltage across the gas in a plasma discharge tube, e.g. a "neon" sign. But under ordinary chemical conditions, helium does not ionize or form bonds (share its electrons) with other atoms.


What noble gas is least likely to form an ion?

Noble gases' atoms have the least tendency to form ions.


Is helium an isotope atom or ion?

Helium is a neutral atom that has several isotopes and can become an ion.


Is the helium ion positive or negative?

If one electron has been removed from Helium's electron shell then it is a He+ ion. If both of its electrons have been removed it becomes a He2+ ion. Either way they are both positive ions.


When a helium atom loses an electron then what is formed?

When a helium atom loses an electron, it forms a helium ion which is positively charged because it has one less electron than protons. This helium ion is written as He+.


Why is o6 a helium like ion?

Helium has two valence electrons. O6+ ion (a hypothetical ion) will also have 2 valence electrons.


What element that forms an ion has the highest electronegativity?

If only the monopositive ions are considered, helium would create the ion with highest electronegativity.
