JudyHelium gas is a monoatomic molecule because it consists of individual atoms of helium, each with a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unlikely to form bonds with other atoms. This results in helium existing as single atoms rather than forming diatomic molecules like other gases such as oxygen or nitrogen.

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.
What is the gas which exists as a monatomic molecule?
All elements can be a gas. Some common elements that are gas at room temperature include: Oxygen, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Fluorine.
When helium is add to a balloon does the molecules become larger?
No. Helium is not molecular it is a monoatomic gas.
Is helium a reactive molecule?
No, helium is a noble gas and is known for its inert and non-reactive nature. It is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that does not readily form compounds with other elements.
How He (helium-3) contains two protons and one neutron in the nucleus. If neutral how many electrons orbit a He atom Is He an element atom ion and-or molecule How do you know?
Helium is a chemical element and the neutral atom has two electrons.Helium is a monoatomic gas in normal condition but the molecule He2 can be obtained.Helium can form ions as He(+) or He(2+).
