Well we got copper, $Z = 29$ $Z=29$ .........

And thus for the $cuprous ion$ $"cuprous ion"$ , $C u^{+}$ $Cu^+$ , we gots 28 electrons to distribute:

$1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 3 d^{10}$ $1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^(6)3d^(10)$

And for the $cupric ion$ $"cupric ion"$ , $C u^{2 +}$ $Cu^(2+)$ , we gots 27 electrons to distribute:

$1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 3 d^{9}$ $1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^(6)3d^(9)$

What is the electron configuration of Cu+Cu^+?
