C. Helium atoms, same as other inert gases, never form stable molecules by chemically bonding with other atoms.

D. Helium atoms never form stable molecules by chemically bonding with other atoms, as other inert gases.

E. Helium atoms, like other inert gases, never form stable molecules by chemically bonding with other atoms.
as is quite obvious, the answer is 'E' as both the subjects that are being compared by a similarity in their property( in this case , helium atoms and other inert gases) must be placed as close as possible for the comparison to be effective.
Also ,here , in the sentences A and B, the usage of 'as' is being used like 'because' which is wrong in this case.
