Which element(s) of d-block have full d^(10) configuration in their ground state as well as in their common oxidation states?

Assertion : Zn, Cd and Hg are not regarded as transition elements. Reason : The electronic configurations of Zn, Cd and Hg are represented by the general formula (n-1)d^10ns^2 .

The transition elements are those elements which have partially filled penultimate d-subshells in their elementary form or in their commonly occurring oxidation states.

Melting point and metallic bond strength of zinc, cadmium and mercury in respective transition series is minimum because
