As such, there are two **exceptions** to electron configuration that differ from their predicted electron configuration: + $$\text{Cr: [Ar] 4s}^1 \text{ 3d}^5$$ + $$\text{Cu: [Ar] 4s}^1 \text{ 3d}^{10}$$ + ### Quantum numbers Quantum numbers are a set of four numbers that are used to describe the specific location of an electron, similar to a coordinate system.
