  1. Exceptions to Predicted Electron Configurations Ch 6 (rev. 11/03/09)

  2. Exceptions to Predicted Electron Configurations There are only two electron configuration exceptions among the first 40 elements: chromium and copper.

  3. Strict adherence to the rules of the Aufbau process would predict the following electron configurations for chromium and copper. predicted electron configurations: Cr (Z = 24): [Ar] 4s2 3d4 Cu (Z = 29): [Ar] 4s2 3d9

  4. The experimentally determined electron configurations for these elements are slightly different. Actual electron configurations: Cr (Z = 24): [Ar] 4s1 3d5 Cu (Z = 29): [Ar] 4s1 3d10 In each case, one electron has been transferred from the 4s orbital to a 3d orbital, even though the 3d orbitals are supposed to be at a higher level than the 4s orbital.
