Cl2, O has atomic number 8, Cl has atomic number 17 so in OCl- , there are 26 electrons. ClF has the same number of electrons, Cl atomic number 17, F atomic number 9- this is an interhalogen, chlorine monofluoride.

A quick way is to look for an atom with an atomic number one higher (that's to compensate for the electron) than either Cl or O. You can ignore Cl as the atom with atomic number 18 is argon a noble gas- one higher than Cl is F.
