The electronic configuration of chlorine, Cl is [Ne] 3s2 3p5. The Cl atom needs to gain an electron to attain the stable octet structure or noble gas configuration. Thus it has a tendency to draw electrons toward itself (it has high electronegativity). Non-metallic elements are short of electrons and gain or share them from other elements through the different types of bonding.
