Explanation:

Atomic number of copper is 29 and it is a d-block element.The electronic configuration of copper is as follows.

Electronic configuration of copper is [Ar]4s^1 3d^{10}

According to the Aufbau principle, in the ground state of an atom or ion the electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest energy levels first, before filling the higher energy levels.

But completely filled d-shell is more stable in nature. Hence, one electron from the 4s shell goes into the d-orbital so the copper atom can attain stability.

So, when a copper atom loses an electron then it goes out from the 4s shell first.

Explain how the hydrogen ion concentration gradient is generated
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Once three protons have entered the matrix space, there is enough energy in the ATP synthase complex to synthesize one ATP. In this way, the energy in the hydrogen ion gradient is used to make ATP. ... The mitochondrial hydrogen ion gradient is generated as electrons pass through three membrane complexes.
