What is the best way to memorize the wave function of orbitals that contain exceptions?

[Jin_Lee_3L]

I don't think that there is a set best way to memorize the exceptions to the wave function of orbitals. I think by reviewing the material to the point that you understand the concept very thoroughly will help with some the exceptions. For example, understanding the atoms want stable orbitals would help you to remember that elements like Chromium and Copper would have d orbitals of 3d5 and 3d10 due to stability.
