Q

How can we explain the electron configuration for chromium and copper

A

Sub-shells like to be full or half full. As 4s and 3d are so close in energy, electrons can move between them easily, and rearrange to make full and half full sub shells

Q

How are elements classified by blocks

A

The block refers to the the highest type of sub shell occupied by electrons e.g. Groups 1 and 2 are in the ‘s’ block because all of those elements highest sub shell is s
