Name the elements which are not really transition elements but are discussed with them. Why is is so?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Zinc, cadmium and mercury have completely filled sets of d-orbitals, and therefore, are not really transition metals. However, they are often discussed with them because of the similarities of some of their properties to those of transition metals. Moreover They are the end members of these series.
