Which of the d-block elements are not considered as transition elements ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Zn(3d^(10)4s^(2)), Cd(4d^(10)5s^(2))` and `Hg(5d^(10)6s^(2))` are not considered as transition elements because unlike transition elements, they always have completely filled (n - 1)d-orbitals.
