why Zn,Cd and...

Question

why Zn,Cd and Hg in d-block elements(transition elements) with electronic configuration (n-1)d¹⁰ns²do not show the properties of transition elements?

Solution

Most of the characteristic properties of transition elements are due to presence of unpaired electrons in d orbital.
Zn,Cd and Hg do not have any unpaired electron in d orbital and so they do not show most of the properties of transition elements.
