Question

Cobalt (Z = 27) has seven electrons in anincomplete d subshell (c) What is the electron configuration in the ground state ofcobalt? (Use the first space for enteringthe shorthand element of the filled inner shells, then use theremaining for the outer-shell electrons. Ex: for Manganese youwould enter [Ar]3d54s2)
