$Cl[Ne]3s^2 3p_x^2 p_y^2 p_z^1$ => $Cl[Ne]3(sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^1$

$F[He]2s^2 2p_x^2 p_y^2 p_z^1$ => $F[He]2(sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^1$

$Cl[Ne]3(sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^1$ <=> $2(sp^3)^1 (sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^2[He]F$ => $(sp^3)^1-(sp^3)^1$ overlab => $sigma-Bond$
