Transition elements are d-block elements, with some exceptions. Usually they are paramagnetic. They show variable oxidation states. They and their compounds show catalytic propertyZn (atomic number 30) is not a transition element, though it is a d-block element. Why? |
| Answer» Solution :The electronic.configuration of Zn is `[Ar]3d^10 4s^2` . It has COMPLETELY filledW- ORBITALS in its ground state and in its oxidation state of`+2`. So it is not CONSIDERED as a transition ELEMENT. | |
