Answer:
That is, 3s2 3p6 configuration in ground state. Each Oxygen atom need 1 electron pair to complete the octet. So, the electron pairs in 3p-orbitals of Cl- ion involve in bonding with the 2 O atoms. So we have 2 bonding electron pairs and 2 lone pairs (one in 3s-orbital and one in 3p-orbital).
