    Chromium is represented by the electronic configuration:

    A) \[[Ne]3{{s}^{2}}\text{ }3{{p}^{6}}\text{ }3{{d}^{1}}\text{ }4{{s}^{2}}\]

    B) \[[Ne]3{{s}^{2}}\text{ }3{{p}^{6}}\text{ }3{{d}^{2}}\text{ }4{{s}^{1}}\]

    C) \[[Ne]3{{s}^{2}}\text{ }3{{p}^{6}}\text{ }3{{d}^{5}}\,4{{s}^{1}}\]

    D) \[[Ne]3{{s}^{2}}\text{ }3{{p}^{6}}\text{ }4{{s}^{2}}\text{ }3{{d}^{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     The correct configuration of chromium is \[[Ne]\,3{{s}^{2}},\text{ }3{{p}^{6}},\text{ }3{{d}^{5}},\text{ }4{{s}^{1}}\] It is due to the extra stability of exactly half filled orbitals.
