HeO2 is not a possible compound.
The fact that AOk suggested HeO2 is a reason to know that there's no way of even attempting to have a rational conversation with AOk. Basic chemistry.
​
But, maybe Aok thinks that electrons flying around and not flying around in S1 and P1 and all those orbitals around Oxygen is just a theory...

Thanks Tany, I agree completely in a biological sense. So when does a virus die? No one is questioning that it is "alive" in the host cell (actually it is the infected cell that is alive). But outside the host, is it alive or dead? As a virion, is it alive, non-living, or dead?
Thank you for admitting that there's no clear definition for what is alive and what is not alive.

OK, let's assume for a moment it is in the grey area...
It's not an assumption. It's a description of reality.
