The halogen in period 3 that is part of a bleaching compound used in paper production is the Chlorine element with the symbol "Cl" which has 17 atomic number and since electron number is equal to the number of protons that represents the atomic number, then we have 17 electrons and its electron configuration is:

1s22s22p63s23p5.1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^5.

Which also can be written as Cl: [Ne] 3s23p53s^2 3p^5
