Because 4s is a lower energy level and 3d is higher. In fact, s levels should, strictly, be written first before d levels when writing electron configurations.
The element that contains five electrons in its 3d orbital is manganese (Mn). Manganese has an atomic number of 25, and its electron configuration is [Ar] 4s² 3d⁵. This means it has five electrons in the 3d subshell.
Vanadium (V) contains 5 electrons in its 3d orbitals.
The element potassium (K) has an atomic number of 19, which means it has 19 electrons. In its electron configuration, potassium is represented as (1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1). Since potassium has no electrons in the 3d subshell, it has 0 3d electrons.
The electron configuration 4s²3d⁸ corresponds to the element nickel (Ni), which has an atomic number of 28. This configuration indicates that nickel has a total of 28 electrons, with the outermost electrons in the 4s and 3d subshells.
Sc is a 3d element. It has 21 protons and 21 electrons.
The element that contains five electrons in its 3d orbital is manganese (Mn). Manganese has an atomic number of 25, and its electron configuration is [Ar] 4s² 3d⁵. This means it has five electrons in the 3d subshell.
The element in the fourth period with 3 3d electrons is titanium (element #22).
Vanadium (V) contains 5 electrons in its 3d orbitals.
There are 3d^10 electrons in arsenic, as it is located in the 4th period of the periodic table.
The element potassium (K) has an atomic number of 19, which means it has 19 electrons. In its electron configuration, potassium is represented as (1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1). Since potassium has no electrons in the 3d subshell, it has 0 3d electrons.

4s electrons are lost first. The reason is because this is more energetically favored than losing d-electrons. As a result, all transition metals can bear a +2 charge. In many cases, d-orbital electrons can also be lost. Consider V+2 and V+3; the first has all of the d-orbital electrons (the 3 belonging to Vanadium) and has lost the 2 4s electrons. V+3 has lost the 2 4s electrons and 1 3d electron.
The extra electron would go into a 4s orbital because 4s can hold up to 2 electrons before 3d can be filled.

The electron configuration 4s²3d⁸ corresponds to the element nickel (Ni), which has an atomic number of 28. This configuration indicates that nickel has a total of 28 electrons, with the outermost electrons in the 4s and 3d subshells.
Sc is a 3d element. It has 21 protons and 21 electrons.
The element with one 3d electron is manganese (Mn), which has the electron configuration [Ar] 3d^5 4s^2.
