Nickel and copper lie next to each other on the periodic table how do their structures differ?

Nickel is 3d8 4s2, while copper is 3d10 4s1.
If I remember this copper exception to filling its d shell in order correctly the reason is balance in pairs of electrons as the d shell is filled across the row. Chromium is also an exception in this row. ( do not quote me on this, but ask a chemist )
