If it's not a molecule it's a...
Ionic compound?
you mean.. you mean science is a house of cards? don't touch?

or a formula unit or a radical or a transition state or an element or an isotope.
>>7666485
I mean I can't remember, fmi, what you call things that aren't molecules
or a pure element, such as a tank of helium.

because engineers don't use science to do their shit, right
fucking morons on this board

One uses the basic laws of the universe. The other uses the basic laws of the universe in a more practical way.

It's safe to breath helium like air, right?
>>7666473
Mind if I post this on 9gag?

As long as the gas mixture you're breathing still contains a sufficient partial pressure of oxygen, it's actually safer than breathing air.
If it doesn't contain sufficient oxygen, you'll suffocate if you breathe it for too long. Duh. (But because helium is lighter than air, it will rapidly leave your lungs if you take normal breaths of air, so taking a hit off a helium balloon is still about as safe as holding your breath.)
However, because your body can't actually detect lack of oxygen - it instead senses the build-up of excess CO2 - if you breathe pure helium through a facemask, or hold your breath while your lungs are full of helium, you will die.

>using unnecessary, unstable solutions to simple problems just because they look pretty when simple material solutions are available
If you're an engineer, you're a bad one.

of course, why else would a sad pepe hook up a tank and face mask to his face? to make himself eternally happy!
