May 25, 2013 at 15:35 comment added Nicolau Saker Neto Do note however that the listed data uses a slightly different nomenclature than usual in chemistry for atoms/ions. For example, neutral iron ($\ce{Fe^0}$) is listed as "Fe I", while the $\ce{Fe^3+}$ ion, often called iron(III), is listed as "Fe IV".
May 25, 2013 at 15:31 comment added Nicolau Saker Neto It's a bit of a complicated matter. Though it can be explained qualitatively for the lighter elements with some finer arguments than merely comparing orbital energy levels via the aufbau principle, things start to get messy when $f$ (and eventually $g$) sublevels and strong relativistic effects are present. If I find the time, I may write up an answer, but for now I shall link this NIST webpage, which has very recent data on ground state electronic configurations of atoms and ions. Just type in an element and play around! Lots to see.
