The help center article we are working on has this.

For example, questions are welcome that are about:

• Creation of elements of a world (languages, species, buildings, etc.)
• Specific effects of events or world elements on that world's society, cultures, and environment
• Technology and magic

as long as they are not about:

• Specific actions of individual characters, rather than the world they inhabit
• Specific character building
• General writing or storytelling (consider the Writers or Role-playing Games Stack Exchange sites)
• Software that doesn't directly relate to worldbuilding (consider the Super User or Software Recommendations Stack Exchange sites)

1. This is about the specific actions of characters.
2. This is about storytelling and plot.
3. This is about something tiny in scale. ^
4. This is about something based in science in real life that is a perfectly reasonable Chemistry question.

^ I know we consider all scales, but this is small in impact as well as in physical size.

Therefore off-topic.

To make on topic? I agree that this particular question can't be made on topic. It hits too many trigger for not being WB, albeit just.
