I think that because chlorine has 17 electrons in all, and ten of them are filled up on the first two shells, then seven of them should be on the third shell, so seven of them are valance electrons.

An uncharged Chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons (3s2 3p5). If it accepts 1 additional electron to become a -1 ion, then it will have a full valence shell of 8 electrons.
