Meaning
Key Stage 3
Meaning
Helium is a Group 0 element, on the Periodic Table, with an atomic number of 2.
About Helium
- Helium has the chemical formula He.
- Helium has two protons and two neutrons in its nucleus giving it an Atomic Number of 2 and an atomic mass of 4.
- Helium is a Noble Gas.
- Helium is a gas at room temperature.
- Helium gas is less dense than air.
- An atom of Helium has a full outer shell of two electrons so it is inert.
Key Stage 4
Meaning
Helium is a Group 0 element, on the Periodic Table, with 2 protons in the nucleus.
About Helium
- Helium has the chemical formula He.
- The most stable isotope of Helium has two neutrons in its nucleus giving it an atomic mass of 4.
- Helium is a Noble Gas.
- Helium is a gas at standard temperature and pressure.
- Helium gas is less dense than air.
- An atom of Helium has a full outer shell of two electrons so it is inert.
Helium always has 2 protons. The most stable isotope has 2 neutrons. |
