Answer:
☆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 , do not show the property of typical transition metal

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.
