4s versus 3d Problem!
9.2 Metals Nonmetals & their Ions
9-2 Metals & Nonmetals & Their Ions
According to the Aufbau Principle and atomic spectroscopy, the 4s orbital fills before the 3d one. Once we start looking at the actual chemistry of the transition metals and their cations, however, we find that the 4s electrons are removed first. To help you remember this chemical aspect, we decided to write 3d before 4s in the energy sequence of the orbitals for the transition metals.
Platinum Sulfur
For example, the ground state electronic configuration of iron is [Ar]4s23d6, which we now write as [Ar]3d64s2. Then, when we go on to form Fe2+, the ground state electronic configuration of the Fe2+ cation will be [Ar]3d6.
