Chlorine has 7 valence electrons, as well as Flourine. Add both 7's together to get the total # of electrons which is 14. Draw the symbol for both elements and fill in the dots and or dashes as you go along. it is a single bond so put a dash between both symbols and that represents 2 electrons so each needs 6 more electrons so then put the dots needed around both elements. There should be 6 dots around each element and a line connecting the two.

-Hope this helps(: (Current high school chemistry student who finally understands how to do this herself!)
