Which statement about elements in the d block of Period 4 of the periodic table is correct? A Cr atoms have the electron configuration: 1s22s22p63s23p63d54s1. B Cu+ ions contain an incomplete 3d sub-shell. C Fe2+ ions contain 3 unpaired electrons. D Sc forms ions with different oxidation states. can anyone help plsss- answer is A I don't get how to work these out

You have to learn that chromium is an exception to the general rules with electron configurations (i.e it has 1 4s electron as opposed to 2, so that the 3d subshell is half-filled).
