$Hg$

Vedclass · Answer

(C) Transition elements are defined as elements that have partially filled $d-$orbitals in their ground state or in any of their common oxidation states.$Hg$ has an electronic configuration of $[Xe] 4f^{14} 5d^{10} 6s^2$.Since $Hg$ has a completely filled $d-$orbital $(d^{10})$ in its ground state and does not form ions with partially filled $d-$orbitals,it is not considered a transition element.Similarly,$Zn$ and $Cd$ are also not considered transition elements for the same reason.

Which element from the following is $NOT$ considered a transition element on the basis of electronic configuration?
