Chlorine Gas
Chlorine has seven valence electrons, the octet rule says that all atoms try to get eight because then it will be stable. Since chorine is so close to eight electrons it will rip up other atoms, this is what would happen if you were to breathe in chorine gas, causing cell damage. In other words, breathing in chlorine gas will cause you to die a very painful death.
