Question
The electronic configuration of valence shell of Cu is 3d104s1 and not 3d94s2. How is this configuration explained?
Advertisements
Solution
Configuration with completely filled and half-filled orbitals have extra stability. In 3d104s1, d-orbitals are completely filled and s-orbital is half-filled. Hence, it is a more stable configuration.
