NCl3 has four atoms.
Every bond has 2 shared electrons. There are a total of 11 bonds making 22 shared electrons.

Three bonds need to be made, so that's six electrons shared.
The general location of electrons in a covalent bond is that electrons are shared in pairs between 2 atoms. If 2 electrons pairs are shared, 4 electrons are shared in all.
The NCl3 molecule, like most other stable molecules, exist because they share electrons in such a way as to close out the valence shell. Therefore, although one usually doesn't say so in regards to molecules, NCl3 has 8 valence electrons.
There are a few things that a shared pair of electrons can be called. Many people call these electrons bonded.
Two electrons from each element are shared; the total is four electrons.
1 mole NCl3 = 120.366g NCl3 = 6.022 x 1023 molecules NCl3 8.2 x 1022 molecules NCl3 x 120.366g NCl3/6.022 x 1023 molecules NCl3 = 16g NCl3 rounded to 2 significant figures
