Elements Zn, Cd and Hg with electronic c...

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

• 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.
