Correct Answer: [Ar]3 d 10 4 s 1


Solution : The correct answer is [Ar]3 d 10 4 s 1

The correct electronic configuration of copper (Cu) is:

Cu:1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 4s 1 3d 10

Copper has an atomic number of 29, and its electron configuration fills the subshells in a way that optimizes stability, leading to an anomalous configuration where one electron is in the 4s orbital instead of the expected 3d orbital.
