Each atom of a halogen has seven valence electrons, so that a simple answer would be 4 X 7 or 28. However, ClF3 is a compound rather than an element, and compounds are not usually considered to have valence electrons at all; that is a property of atoms.

The Lewis dot structure for ClO2 has one double bond and one single bond. This means that the number of valence electrons is 14.

C and Cl are the centers, C has 3 H's bonded to it, Cl has one H, and Cl has 2 unbonded pairs of electrons as well.
