Electron Configuration and Ionization

(1/1)

dan_c_23:
Copper forms a stable +1 ion or a +2 ion. Which orbital loses 2 electrons when it forms a + 2 ion? The +1 ion loses one electron from the same orbital as the + 2 and transfers the other electron to the 3d orbital. What does this suggest about the stability of d orbitals.
