Stability of Completely filled and Half-filled Subshells

Stability of completely filled and half-filled subshells 

It is well known that symmetry leads to stability. The completely filled or half-filled subshells have the symmetrical distribution of electrons in them and are therefore more stable.

For eg: the valence electronic configurations of Cr and Cu, therefore, are 3d54s1 and 3d104s1 respectively and not 3d44s2 and 3d94s2.
