It sounds like you need to show what sub atomic particles chlorine has. You should find many to choose from. Try Google.
Chlorine has a nucleus with 17 protons and 18 neutrons. There are a few isotopes, so the avg. atomic mass is 35.5. Chlorine also has 17electrons, with the folllowing distribution 1S2 2S2 2P6 3S2 3P5. In other words, 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 in the second and 7 in the 3rd.

Putting the protons and neutrons in the nucleus and having the electrons orbiting around in the correct levels.
Cl has 17 protons and 18 neutrons in its nucleus. It has a total of 17 electrons orbiting: 2 in level 1; 8 in level 2; and 7 in level 3.
