Answer:

Yes, it does not have chemical properties.

Step-by-step explanation:

Helium, as an inert element, cannot rearrange its electrons to form another chemical substances with another element, like a combustion or an acidification, even though it can form nuclear reactions, these are not considered chemical reactions, because it does not involve a rearrangement of the electrons but changes the nucleus of the element giving another elements.
