The actual configuration is [Ar] 4s^1 3d^10. Copper is anomalous. The atom is more stable with a full 3d shell and a partially filled 4s shell than it would be if it had a full 4s shell and a partially filled 3d shell.

What is the ground state electron configuration for silicon and what is the actual ground state electron configuration for copper?
The expected ground-state electron configuration of copper is ; however, the actual configuration is because a full dsubshell is particularly stable. There are 18 other anomalous elements for which the actual electron configuration is not what would be expected.
What is the correct electron configuration for Cu?
The electron configuration of copper is: [Ar]4s13d10. It isn't 4s23d9 because Cu is able to obtain a more stable electron configuration when it takes an electron from the 4s and adds it to 3d. A half filled 4s and a completely filled 3d is more stable.
What is the electron configuration of copper 1 ion?
The electron configuration of a Copper(II)ion is [Ar]4s0 3d9.
Abbreviated electron configuration for copper?
The abbrieviated electron configuration of copper is [Ar] 4s23d9
Which description of electron configuration applies to atoms of potassium chromium and copper?
only five filled sublevels

Why is the electron configuration for copper 3d10 4s1 - shouldn't it be 3d9 4s2?
The actual for copper is 3d10 4s1. 3d10 4s2 is Zinc. 3d8 4s2 is Nickel. Among these Transition Metals [in this book], 3d9 4s2 is not listed. Help pls.
