Helium is a Noble gas in group 18.
It has a Hexagonal or body centered cubic crystalline structure.
This element has two stable isotopes: 3 and 4.
Helium is the second element in the periodic table. It is a noble gas.
Helium consists of two isotopes. The most common isotope, Helium-4, has a nucleus of two protons and two neutrons, and two electrons. The less common isotope Helium-3 has two protons and one neutron.
Helium is a component of the solar wind, and hence is found (in parts per million level) in Lunar regolith.
