Answer 1

hii mate !!

your answer is ________!!

☆a transition element are those element which have incompletely filled d orbitals in its ground state or any one of its oxidation states , zn , cd and hg have full d10 configuration in their ground state as well as their common oxidation state . 

and hence , donot show the property of typical transition metal . 

_______☆☆☆
