Fluorine, periodic table F, is a gas at standard atmospheric pressure. It's most common isotope has 10 neutrons, for an atomic mass of 19.
Fluorine has been discovered on Mars.
Fluorine is likely to be needed in massive quantities if people decide to terraform Mars. Most of the super greenhouse gases which would have long lifetimes are fluorine compounds. For example CF4, C2F6, SF6, and others. Adding super greenhouse gases to the atmosphere is an ideal way to warm the planet.
