why does copper show abnormal electronic confirguation

Answer» <p>Copper show abnormal electronic configuration because it is more energy efficient to have a full lower energy orbital than high energy orbital. 4s has higher energy than 3d when it contains electrons i.e. copper with [Ar] 3d^10 4s^1 configuration is in lower energy state than copper with [Ar] 3d^9 4s^1 configuration.</p>
