Assertion: Chromium and copper have five and ten electrons in 3d orbitals rather than four and nine as their position would have indicated with two-electrons in the 4s orbital.

Reason: Fully filled and half-filled orbital shave extra stability that is, lower energy.

(a) Fully filled and half-filled orbitals have extra stability (that is, lower energy). Thus, p3, p6, d5, d10, f 7, f14 etc. configurations, which are either half-filled or filled, are more stable. Chromium and copper therefore adopt the d5 and d10 configuration.
