Answer:

Since the 3s if now full we'll move to the 3p where we'll place the remaining five electrons. Therefore the Chlorine electron configuration will be 1s22s22p63s23p5. The configuration notation provides an easy way for scientists to write and communicate how electrons are arranged around the nucleus of an atom.
