Question

Why zn show exceptional behavior

Answer 1

Zinc is not consider as a transition metal because its compounds or ions (Zn2+) contain a full filled d-orbital or sub shell and are unstable.Moreover it have only one ion which is the (Zn2+). Hence zinc do not form colored aqueous ions because it do not have at least one vacant d-orbital in which it can receive an electron in a reaction.

Considering Zinc not as a transition metal require you to understand and see into consideration the properties of transition metals . You can start with their ability to have variable oxidation state .

Answer 2

Hey mate, here is your answer :

Zinc is not consider as a transition metal because its compounds or ions (Zn2+) contain a full filled ... It shows variable oxidation States and therefore, shows exceptional or unique behaviours.

Hope this answer helps you...
