Chemistry · Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
हिन्दीIdentify the transition metal that has the outermost electronic configuration \( (n-1)d^{10}ns^2 \) and does not show most of the typical properties of transition elements like catalytic activity or colored ion formation.
Correct answer · Option 4
Zinc (\( \text{Zn} \))
Explanation
Elements like Zn, Cd, and Hg have completely filled \( (n-1)d^{10}ns^2 \) configurations in their ground state as well as common oxidation states, and thus do not show typical transition metal properties.
