Cl is in the 17 group. It is in the 3rd period. It has 3 energy levels.
The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
Chlorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell.
7
inner-shell electrons
Germanium has 18 inner shell electrons.
The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
There are 3 shells total in the atom of Chlorine. The first shell has 2 electrons because the first shell of any atom can only hold up to a maximum of 2 electrons. The second shell holds 8 electrons because the second shell of any atom can only hold 8 electrons maximum. The third shell holds 7 electrons in the Chlorine atom, but the third shell of any atom can hold up to 18 electrons as a maximum.

inner shell electrons : the electrons that are not in the the highest occupied energy level .
Chlorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell.

inner-shell electrons
Germanium has 18 inner shell electrons.
there are 2 electrons in the inner shell of a hydrogen atom.
Total electrons = 17First shell = 2Second Shell = 8Third shell = 7
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons in the 3rd electron shell. Chlroine is in the third row of the periodic chart, so its 3rd shell is the valence shell, and it is in the next to last column, 7A, so it has 7 electrons in that 3rd shell.
A chloride anion contains eight outer shell electrons, one more than the seven outer shell electrons found in a chlorine atom.
