The electronic configuration for metal ion
Concept introduction:
The simplest method for describing the arrangement of electrons in an atom is by writing its electronic configuration. Since the set of four quantum numbers is used to describe the atomic orbitals in an atom, therefore by writing the electronic configuration one can get details of the number of electrons present in each sublevel. When the electronic configuration of an atom is written, it describes the number of electron present in each sublevel by the superscript. While writing the electronic configuration, it is assumed that atom is present in its isolated gaseous state. Electrons are filled in order of the increasing energies of the various sublevels.

Atomic number of an element gives the total number of electrons present in an atom. In case of transition metal cations, the electrons that are present beyond the noble gas are located in their inner d- orbitals (3d orbitals in case of 3d transition metal elements), this means that they have no outer s- electrons and the distribution of electrons is according to Hund’s rule which states that when orbitals of equal energy are available, then electrons enter singly in the respective orbitals, this gives rise to maximum number of unpaired electrons in transition metal cations.
