The electronic configuration of Cr is [Ar]4s^13d^5

This is because the half filled d orbital configuration is more stable than the corresponding [Ar]4s^23d^4.

The haf filled orbital configuration is generally more stable due to more number of exchanges in the electrons which leads to more exchange energy and also due to symmetrical distribution of electrons
