Heliox is a breathing gas composed of a mixture of helium (He) and oxygen (O2). Heliox has been used medically since the 1930s, and although the medical community adopted it initially to alleviate symptoms of upper airway obstruction, its range of medical uses has since expanded greatly, mostly because of the low density of the gas

The carbon-hydrogen bond (C-H bond) is a bond between carbon and hydrogen atoms that can be found in many organic compounds. Compound classes consisting solely of C-H bonds and C-C bonds are alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Collectively they are known as hydrocarbons.

Gelatine, being a colloid, has the property of preventing crystallization. In ice lollies and ice-cream this is demonstrated by the formation of a very fine crystal structure on freezing. This goes much further in that gelatine stabilized ice-cream does not become grainy or sandy due to the slow crystallisation of lactose with time.
