Core Notation for Ag+1

zaddyzad

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

So originally Ag core notation should be -> Kr 5s1 4d10...
but looking at it unchanged is -> Kr 5s2 4d9
Does that mean if i take an electron away I take away all the electrons from 5s2 and put them into the 4d8 shell and have Kr 4d10?

2. Relevant equations

3. The attempt at a solution

Yes. That way you have an empty 5s subshell and a full 4d subshell, which is energetically favorable compared to a half-full 5s and a partially-full 4d.
