Noble gases do not have the ability to form ionic or covalent bonds. This is because noble gases have a full outer electron shell, making them very stable and unreactive. They do not need to gain, lose, or share electrons with other atoms in order to achieve a stable electron configuration. Therefore, noble gases typically do not participate in chemical bonding with other elements.

Helium does not have the ability to form an ionic or covalent bond.
Helium is a noble gas, which means that it has a full valence shell of electrons. This means that helium has no need to gain or lose electrons, so it does not form ionic bonds.
Additionally, helium has a very high ionization energy, which means that it is very difficult to remove an electron from helium. This means that helium does not form covalent bonds either.
