I Know Helium is a noble gas and it is generally known to be non-reactive. 
I also know the nature of ATOMS and the electron orbital patterns and valence
of the shells. It seems to me that the futher to the bottom and to the left of 
the table the more those ATOMs will be willing to give up and electrons. I want 
to know if placing a molucule of He with that of any bottom left element would 
prompt an exchange of electrons.
