Elements Zn, Cd and Hg with electronic configuration (n-1)d^(10) ns^(2) do not show most of transition elements properties. Give reason.

Elements Zn, Cd and Hg with electronic configuration (n-1)d^(10) ns^(2

1.	Elements Zn, Cd and Hg with electronic configuration (n-1)d^(10) ns^(2) do not show most of transition elements properties. Give reason.
Answer» Solution :• ZN, Cd and Hg are having completely filled d-orbitals (`d^(10) electronic configuration). • They do not have PARTIALLY filled d-orbitals like other TRANSITION elements. So they do not show much of the transition elements PROPERTIES.
