Answer:
hey mate
Explanation:
Because according to Aufbau's principle,electrons get filled in the increasing level of energy of the orbitals,after 3p, among 4s(n+l=4) and 3d(n+l=5) energy of 4s is lower due to lower (n+l) value, therefore electrons tend to fill in the 4s orbital first.

As per Aufbau principle, electron enters into the orbital whose (n + l) value is less. The (n + l) values for 4a and 3d are
4s = 4 + 0 = 4
3d = 3 + 2 = 5
Here the (n + l) value of 4s < 3d. Hence electron enters into 4s orbital after filling '3p' instead of '3d'
