Chromium and copper have electron configurations [Ar] 3d 5 4s 1 and [Ar] 3d 10 4s 1 respectively, i.e. one electron has passed from the 4s-orbital to a 3d-orbital to generate a half-filled or filled subshell. In this case, the usual explanation is that "half-filled or completely filled subshells are particularly stable arrangements of electrons".
However there are numerous exceptions; for example the lightest exception is chromium, which would be predicted to have the configuration 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 3d 4 4s 2, written as [Ar] 3d 4 4s 2, but whose actual configuration given in the table below is [Ar] 3d 5 4s 1. Note that these electron configurations are given for neutral atoms in ...

However, the measured electron configuration of the copper atom is [Ar] 3d 10 4s 1. By filling the 3d subshell, copper can be in a lower energy state. A special exception is lawrencium 103 Lr, where the 6d electron predicted by the Madelung rule is replaced by a 7p electron: the rule predicts [Rn] 5f 14 6d 1 7s 2, but the measured configuration ...

An example is chromium whose electron configuration is [Ar]4s 1 3d 5 with a d electron count of 5 for a half-filled d subshell, although Madelung's rule predicts [Ar]4s 2 3d 4. Similarly copper is [Ar]4s 1 3d 10 with a full d subshell, and not [Ar]4s 2 3d 9. The configuration of palladium is [Kr]4d 10 with zero 5s electrons.
Note that these electron configurations are given for neutral atoms in the gas phase, which are not the same as the electron configurations for the same atoms in chemical environments. In many cases, multiple configurations are within a small range of energies and the small irregularities that arise in the d- and f-blocks are quite irrelevant ...
