Refer to the related links for more information about 5 elements that are an exception to the Aufbau principle.
The elements that are exceptions to the aufbau principle other than chromium and copper include molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W), which have a 4s orbital that is higher in energy than the 3d orbital, and silver (Ag) and gold (Au), which have a 5s orbital that is higher in energy than the 4d orbital. These exceptions are due to the electron-electron repulsion between electrons occupying the 4s and 3d orbitals, and the 5s and 4d orbitals, respectively.
The principle was named by a German speaker who called it Aufbau. "Buildup" is the usual translation of Aufbauinto English.
This is usually called the "Pauli Exclusion Principle".
1920
If you are referring to the Aufbau Principle, than I believe it was the Danish physicist Niels Bohr who discovered it around 1920. However, instead of being named after a person, it came from the German phrase Aufbauprinzip which literally translates to "building-up principle."
Nature prefers low energy. It is thus energetically favorable to do so.
chromium and copper.
The element in the fourth period is an exception to the Aufbau principle is Cr. Each period in the periodic table corresponds to a principal energy level.
copper and chromium
Every element besides chromium and copper.
Bohr &Stoner suggested aufbau principle
The Aufbau principle states that electrons must be added to elements and ions in a VERY specific order with the lowest energy level being filled first and the highest last. This is where the Aufbau triangle comes in. It shows the order in which the energy levels must be filled.
Three rules aufbau principle, the pauli exclusion,and the hunds rule

The electronic configuration od Cu is [Ar] 3d10 4s1 This is an exception to the aufbau principle which would predict [Ar] 3d9 4s2.
