Question

Using noble gas notation write the electron configuration for the chromium(II) ion

Answer 1

Since chromium has 24 as its atomic number (which mean that it has 24 proton and 24 electron in neutral ground state), the electron configuration for the chromium would be :

1s^2 , 2s^2 , 2p^6 , 3s^2, 3p^6 , 3d^5 , 4s^1
