Which of the following options does not represent ground state electronic configuration of an atom?A. `1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^(6)3d^(8)4s^(2)`B. `1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^(6)3d^(9)4s^(2)`C. `1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^(6)3d^(10)4s^(1)`D. `1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^(6)3d^(5)4s^(1)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Correct configuration should be `1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^(6)3d^(10)4s^(1)` for the copper which has atomic number `29(._(29)Cu)`. Due to extra stability of full filled orbital of d-subshell, the last electron enter into d-orbital instead of sorbital.
