d block
What is the electron configuration of Ti?
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d2
What is the Noble Gas configuration of Ag?
[Kr] 5s1 4d10

What is the element that has this configuration: [Kr] 5s2 4d2?
Zirconium
Why does the 3d sublevel follow the 4s sublevel?
3s and 3p hold 8 electrons, which is a full valence shell. A new energy level, represented by 4s, must begin before you can finish filling the 3rd energy level with 3d.
