Answer 1

1) incorrect

2) incorrect

3) correct

4) correct

5) correct

6) incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct electronic configuration of chromium is; [Ar] 3d⁵ 4s¹

The correct electronic configuration for Zr is; [Kr] 4d² 5s²

The correct electronic configuration of Cu^+ is; [Ar] 3d¹⁰

The electronic configuration of an atom refers to the arrangement of electrons in the atoms of such element.

The appropriate number of electrons and its properly written electronic configuration is clearly shown in this answer.
