Would you accept the answer "no" with no additional context or replies without feeling put off? Chat is asynchronous. Just ask your question. This isn't a phone call or a desk-side visit. The act of initiating a chat already contains the idea that you are asking the other person for an interaction. If they have time to chat, they will chat. If you need a response right away, then chat isn't the place to do it.
