Each chlorine atom has 7 electons.
They share 2 electrons when forming the covalent bond.

assuming that you mean two Cl atoms bonded together, simply multiply the number of electrons in one Cl atom by two. the atomic number of Cl is 17, this is the nuber of protons which is equal to the number of electrons.

17 x 2 = 34

note: each Cl atom has 7 electrons in the outer shell, 17 electrons total
