HEY BUDDY HERE IS UR ANSWER !!

Point to be noted :

[ Their is mistake in ur question its not Zr it should be Zn or thier is mistake in Hg it should be Hf ]

》Zn nd Hg both belongs frm same group .

》Both r metal.

》Zr and Hf exhibit similar properties due to lanthanoid contraction.

》 Electrons present in f subshell didn't do good shielding due to which with the increasing atomic number or increasing effective nuclear charge size gets constricted and size of Halfenium and Zirconium becomes almost equal.

hope u like !!
