Match the following atoms/ions with their correct electronic configurations:
Atom/Ion Electronic Configuration
$(1) \ Cu$ $(A) 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 3d^{10}$
$(2) \ Cu^{2+}$ $(B) 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 3d^{10}, 4s^2$
$(3) \ Zn^{2+}$ $(C) 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 3d^{10}, 4s^1$
$(4) \ Cr^{3+}$ $(D) 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 3d^9$
$(E) 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 3d^3$

(C) The correct matches are:
$(1) \ Cu (Z=29): 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 3d^{10}, 4s^1 \rightarrow (C)$
$(2) \ Cu^{2+} (Z=29): 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 3d^9 \rightarrow (D)$
$(3) \ Zn^{2+} (Z=30): 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 3d^{10} \rightarrow (A)$
$(4) \ Cr^{3+} (Z=24): 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 3d^3 \rightarrow (E)$
Thus,the correct sequence is $(1-C, 2-D, 3-A, 4-E)$.
