Write the orbital diagram for the ground state of cobalt. The electron configuration is $[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^{7} 4 s^{2} .$
The following orbital-filling diagram represents an excited state rather than the ground state of an atom. Identify the atom, and give its ground-state electron configuration. $$ \text { [Ar] } \frac{\downarrow \uparrow}{4 s} \quad \underline{\downarrow \uparrow} \underline{\downarrow \uparrow} \frac{\downarrow \uparrow}{3 d} \stackrel{\downarrow \uparrow}{\downarrow \uparrow} \quad \frac{\downarrow \uparrow}{4 p}-\frac{\downarrow \uparrow}{4 p}- $$
