Well...it's just chlorine with 2 extra electrons. (4S1 is the new valence electron)

I seriously doubt you or anybody you know will ever observe that, though. If it's made an appearance in your homework, I can only assume your teacher is a bit of a sadist or just doesn't know a lot about chemistry.
