Question

Write the outer electronic configuration of the following using orbital notation method.Justify.
Cu (belongs to period 4 and group 11)

✓

Answer

a. Cu belongs to period 4. Therefore, n = 4.
b. Group 11 indicates that the element belongs to the d-block of the modem periodic table.
c. The general outer electronic configuration of the d-block elements is ns^0-2(n-1)d^1-10.
d. The expected configuration of Cu is 4s²3d⁹. However, the observed configuration of Cu is 4s¹3d¹⁰. This is due to the extra stability associated with completely filled d-subshell. Thus, the outer electronic configuration of Cu is 4s¹3d¹⁰.
