    Aufbau principle does not give the correct arrangement of filling up of atomic orbitals in:

    A)  Cu and Zn                          

    B)  Co and Zn

    C)  Mn and Cr                         

    D)  Cu and Cr

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Aufbau principle does not give the correct arrangement of filling up of atomic orbitals in copper and chromium because half-filled and completely filled electronic configuration of Cr and Cu have lower energy and therefore, more stable. \[Cr(Z=24):\text{ 1}{{\text{s}}^{2}},\text{ }2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}},3{{d}^{5}}4{{s}^{1}}\] \[Cu(Z=29):\text{ 1}{{\text{s}}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}},\text{ }2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{10}},4{{s}^{1}}\]
