In nature, there are many exceptions to the basic order-of-filling rules to describe electron configuration. For example, the electron configuration of copper is found experimentally to be [Ar]3d^10 4s^1, rather than the configuration of [Ar]4s^2 3d^9 predicted by the standard rules. Why would the experimentally determined configuration to differ from that predicted by the standard rules? Based on the experimentally determined configuration, what shape would you expect a copper atom to have?
