Chlorine. A molecule of chlorine has the ability to disproportionate in water. That is it simultaneously oxidises and reduces. Cl2 = Cl-Cl = Cl^(-) + Cl^(+) Disproportionation). Cl2 + H2O = HCl(reduced) + HClO(oxidised). At a water treatment plant, chlorine gas is bubbled through water, in order to act as a bacteriocide, so the water is drinkable/potable.
