    Cr is member of 3d transition series of atomic number 24. What will be its electronic configuration?

    A)  \[[Ar]3{{d}^{6}}\,4{{s}^{2}}\]                    

    B) \[[Ar]3{{d}^{5}}\,4{{s}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[[Ar]3{{d}^{4}}\,4{{s}^{2}}\]   

    D) \[[Ar]\,3{{d}^{5}}\,4{{s}^{1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                                    The correct electronic configuration of Cr is \[[Ar]\text{ }3{{d}^{5}},4{{s}^{1}}\]and not\[[Ar]\text{ }3{{d}^{4}},4{{s}^{2}}\]because exactly half filled and exactly full filled orbitals are more stable than nearly half filled and nearly full filled orbitals.
