MCQ
The electronic configuration of copper ${(_{29}}Cu)$ is
  • A
    $1{s^2},\,2{s^2}2{p^6},\,3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^9}\,,4{s^2}$
  • $1{s^2},\,2{s^2}2{p^6},\,3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^{10}},\,4{s^1}$
  • C
    $1{s^2},\,2{s^2}2{p^6},\,3{s^2}3{p^6},\,4{s^2}4{p^6}$
  • D
    $1{s^2},\,2{s^2}2{p^6},\,3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^{10}}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$1{s^2},\,2{s^2}2{p^6},\,3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^{10}},\,4{s^1}$
b
(b) $3d $ subshell filled with $5 $ electrons (half-filled) is more stable than that filled with $4$  electrons. $1,\,4s$ electrons jumps into $3d$ subshell for more sability.
