Answer:
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
Explanation:
Chlorine is a groups 17 element. The halogens for ions by accepting one electron to form univalent negative ions.
Since chlorine normally contains seventeen electrons, the chloride ion consists of eighteen electrons.
Hence the electronic configuration of chlorine ion is; 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6.
