How does the concept of covalent radius make sense for helium, as it doesn't normally bond with anything? If it is based on a measurement of a bond in some actual helium compound, what is the compound? It seems like a reference is needed in the infobox.[[User:CountMacula|CountMacula]] ([[User talk:CountMacula|talk]]) 15:59, 8 November 2022 (UTC) |

:Hmm. In [[Covalent radius]] it says: ''Tabulated values of covalent radii are either average or idealized values, which nevertheless show a certain transferability between different situations, which makes them useful.'' I suspect the ''idealized values'' part allows it. Note that on [[Covalent radius]] it has two (very) different values for helium. I suspect that not putting one on this page would be a good choice.

Add "at STP" to the Boiling-point
Just like is done for the Melting-point. If feels a bit inconsistent now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Koitus~nlwiki (talk • contribs) 20:52, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
Other history
Helium was once also produced by fractional distillation of air, and may still be in some parts of the world. In the UK in the post-war period, for example, there were two common varieties of industrial Helium, the expensive US Helium was the purer, while the locally produced variety was from air liquification.

condense hydrogen and oxygen to make rocket fuel
Definitely oxygen can be liquified without liquid helium, usually fractional distillation of liquid air. Hydrogen can be liquified without helium also, but maybe it is easier with helium. Gah4 (talk) 01:19, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

There is a ref poking out in the "Conservation advocates" section. That is not how it is done!!! Also. no point having an acrynym if it is not going to ne used.. 103.21.175.235 (talk) 03:31, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Covalent radius
How does the concept of covalent radius make sense for helium, as it doesn't normally bond with anything? If it is based on a measurement of a bond in some actual helium compound, what is the compound? It seems like a reference is needed in the infobox.CountMacula (talk) 15:59, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
