Question

write down the electronic configuration of cr2+​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The electron configuration for Cr is [Ar]3d6 4s2 (note that 4s is higher in energy than 3d - that is important). Cr2+ means we remove 2 electrons, and we remove them from the highest energy level, which is 4s, so the electron configuration for Cr2+ is [Ar]3d6.

Answer 2

In order to write the Chromium electron configuration we first need to know the number of electrons for the Cr atom (there are 24 electrons). Once we have the configuration for Cr, the ions are simple. When we write the configuration we'll put all 24 electrons in orbitals around the nucleus of the Chromium atom.
