54. Which of the following elements would have an electronic configuration of ns^(n-l)d^ due to half-filled stability?
A. Copper
B . Silicon
C . Manganese
D . Molybdenum
I picked C because it's literally 3d5 but the answer was D because it can take an electron from s and create a half-filled orbital. For half - filled stability does it have to be something 1 or 2 electrons away that can create a half-filled orbital?
