Dear Student,
​
Electronic

of
Cr
should
be

This
is
in
order
to
obtain
stable
electronic
configuration
.
In
such
way
,
Cr
attains
half
filled
3
d
and
Cu
obtains
full
filled
3
d
configuration
which
makes
the
electronic
configuration
more
stable
.
Hence
,
Cr
and
Cu
show
anomalous
electronic
configuration
.
