There are 2 electrons in the overlapping region.
Chlorine is the second member of the halogen group which are form of family of elements that resemble one another very closely.
The electronic configuration of chlorine shows the arrangement of chlorine electrons within it's atom.
At the outer most shell of the atom is seven electrons, therefore requires only one electron each to attain the octet arrangement.
The overlapping of the orbitals indicates the chemical bond formed by sharing of electrons between atoms called covalent bonding.
To complete it's outer most shell, it will need to share electron with another chlorine atom.
Therefore, there are 2 electrons in the overlapping region.
