Solution
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d9 4s2
Explanation:
As per Hund’s rule the half-filled and fully filled orbital leads to extra stability due to the symmetry thus fully filled 3d and half-filled 4s is preferred.

The arrangement of orbitals on the basis of energy is based upon their (n + l) value. Lower the value of (n + l), lower is the energy. For orbitals having same values of (n + l), the orbital with lower value of n will have lower energy.
Based upon the above information, arrange the following orbitals in the increasing order of energy.
1s, 2s, 3s, 2p
