The electron configuration is incomplete. Assuming that you mean [Ar]4s23dy, here are the possibilities: y=1 Sc y=2 Ti y=3 V y=4 Cr (Actually [Ar]4s13d5) y=5 Mn y=6 Fe y=7 Co y=8 Ni y=9 Cu (Actually [Ar]4s13d10) y=10 Zn Basically the first row of transition metals, since their outermost electron shell is the 3d shell.
