If you breath in the lowest element would you have a low tone?

Question

You know how if you breath the 2nd highest element (heliem) you have high voice?
well, would you have a low voice if you breathed the lowest element?

Answer 1

The resonance of your larynx depends of the density of the gas passing over it. The higher the density, the lower the resonance.

And, density is strong correlated to atomic weight. But not exactly correlated.

Answer 2

The lowest element on the periodic table is hydrogen (one proton, one electron) The second lowest element is helium (two protons, two electrons). Breathing either and speaking afterward would produce a high voice.

Believe you don't want to breathe the highest element.

Answer 3

To simplify things, let's use Uranium, which is the heaviest naturally-occurring element. If you could create Uranium vapor, and breathed it in, you'd probably have a very low voice while you were dying. Uranium is toxic in any quantities, and if you breathed a significant amount of vapor, the damage would likely be irreversible, and that's not even counting any radiation damage.

Answer 4

well you would probably die, because the atomic weight would be very high, so it probably wouldnt naturally be a gas. And also it would be highly unstable and radioactive. So if you feel like dying from radiation, go ahead and try.

Answer 5

ya you can do it with one of the noble gases but I forget which one
