Answer: King cobra

The grass snake is Eurasian, is also known as the ringed snake or water snake, and is not venomous. Neither is the Mexican black kingsnake, which is a constrictor that lives in Mexico and the southwestern United States. The reticulated python, which inhabits Asia, is the world's longest reptile, but it has no venom; it is another constrictor.

If you go to India or southeast Asia, however, you might just find a king cobra, the world's longest venomous snake.

You can find them all in the far right column of the periodic table. Chlorine (Cl, atomic number 17) is a gas, but it is in the halogen group, right next to the noble gasses.
