Explanation:
Transition elements are the elements whose atoms or simple ions contain partially filled d- orbitals. Zn, Cd, and Hg are normally not considered as transition metals as they contain completely filled d - orbitals in their elementary and commonly occuring ions.Jan 6, 2019

Answer:
The elements such as Zn, Cd, and Hg are not transition elements because of their electronic configuration. The orbitals of these elements are completely filled when they are in their ground state as well as in their general oxidation state. Therefore, these elements are not transition elements.
