My bad! Eeh, we were only off by a mere five atomic numbers... ;-) --TwoDragons Oopsie, I also called it "sodium" instead of "sulphur". My bad!

I was thinking the same thing. I think it would be more of a squeaky low pitched voice, because the heavier gas would stay longer (hexafluoride) while the lighter gas (helium) rose. I'm no scientist though. @Denita.

(Aside from getting a major case of the dizzies, that is...) --TwoDragons I wonder what would happen if you breathed helium AND sodium hexafluoride at the same time...?
