The holy gospel

[203]

He is everywhere, in the heaven and on earth
He makes the stars shine yet can not be seen
He is noble, abundant, and fills the universe
He can lift you into the sky, and set you gently down

He can take many forms
can help heal and can help kill
can help create and can help destroy

praise be unto Helium​

HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. I BET IT EXPLODE GOOD WHEN COMPRESSED TO SH*T.

Helium is innert, Joe. It does nothing unless you're talking fusion.

I believe Joe can make anything explode.

of course a container can implode/explode if mishandled, but helium itself is one of the lazy gases - it's not flammable.

It may not react to oxygen, but i bet it will react to other gases in an exothermic reaction. ^^

hydrogen?

Joe is an explosive man by nature. The ladies love him for his explosive climaxes !

Helium is part of the Noble gases because it's highly stable. So it won't react.
But if just want a big boom.... Helium tends to be stored in a pressurized vessels. You just need to rupture the tank appropriately to get an explosion.

No, unless ionized, helium is not reactive in normal state. This comes from the saturation in it's electron cloud, it doesn't need more and doesn't give up any electron and as such won't react to anything.
