Helium does not have an expanded chemical formula because it is a noble gas, and noble gases are composed of individual atoms. The chemical symbol for helium is "He," and it is a monoatomic element, meaning it consists of single helium atoms. Its atomic number is 2, which means it has 2 protons and 2 electrons. So, there is no expanded form for helium.
