The electronic configuration of Cu is
[Ne] 3s2, 3p6, 3d9, 4s2
[Ne] 3s2, 3p6, 3d10, 4s1
[Ne] 3s2, 3p6, 3d3, 3d9, 4s2, 4p6
[Ne] 3s2, 3p6, 3d5, 4s2, 4p4
B.
[Ne] 3s2, 3p6, 3d10, 4s1
Atomic number of Copper is 29, its electronic configuration is-
Cu29 = 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 3d10, 4s1
Since, fully filled orbitals are more stable, so one electron from 4s orbital transfers into 3d orbital. Electronic configuration of Neon is-
Ne10 = 1s2, 2s2, 2p6
Therefore, using inert gas, the configuration of Cu can be represented as-
Cu29 - [Ne] 3s2, 3p6, 3d10, 4s1
Assertion: Cuprous ion (Cu+) is colorless whereas cupric ion (Cu2+) is blue in the aqueous solution.
Reason: Cuprous ion (Cu+) has unpaired electrons while cupric ion (Cu2+) does not.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
If the assertion is true but the reason is false.
If both the assertion and reason are false.
The stable bivalency of Pb and trivalencey of Bi is:
due to d contraction in Pb and Bi
due to relativistic contraction of the 6s orbitals of Pb and Bi, leading to inert pair effect
due to screening effect
due to the attainment of noble liquid configuration
