Answer:
Zinc, cadmium, and mercury are metals with low melting points for metals. This is because they have an especially stable electron configuration. Mercury is so poor at forming metallic bonds that it is liquid at room temperature. Zinc and cadmium are soft metals that easily oxidize to the +2 oxidation state.
