Give the ground-state electron configuration for copper(Cu)using noble-gas shorthand?
Express your answer in condensed form as a series of orbitals. Forexample, [Ar]4s23d8would be entered as [Ar]4s^23d^8.

What is the ground-state electron configuration for each atom and ion pair?

a. Ni,  

b. Mn,  

c. Y,  

d. Ta,  

In nature, there are many exceptions to the basic order-of-filling rules to describe electron configuration. For example, the electron configuration of copper is found experimentally to be [Ar]3d104s1, rather than the configuration of [Ar]4s23d9 predicted by the standard rules. Why would the experimentally determined configuration to differ from that predicted by the standard rules? (Note that the electron configuration of Ni is: [Ar]4s23d8.) Based on the experimentally determined configuration, what shape would you expect a copper atom to have?
