Electron Configuration of Copper and Silver

The video tutorial from Moomoomath and Science explains the electron configurations of copper and silver, highlighting their exceptions to the diagonal rule. It begins with an introduction to the diagonal rule, detailing the capacities of different orbitals. The tutorial then focuses on copper, explaining its unique electron configuration for stability. Similarly, it covers silver's electron configuration, which follows a pattern akin to copper. The video concludes with a call to subscribe to the channel for daily math and science content.
