Sep 4, 2013 at 7:34 comment added F'x This is because the commonly taught method of building electronic configurations, by assuming that all atoms have the energetic diagram for their atomic orbitals, is not a valid hypothesis any more when you read the d block. So you can learn rule of thumbs, but the reality is that energy levels of polyelectronic atoms are much harder to understand (graduate-level quantum chemistry). Here's one link that may help
