Q. The ions of metals of group-$12(Zn, Cd$ and $Hg$) have a complete $d$-shell, and so they

The d-and f-Block Elements

Solution:

Typical transition metals have partially filled $d$-orbitals either in their elemental state or in most common oxidation state, but ions of metals of group-$12 (Zn, Cd$ and $Hg$) have a completely filled $d$-subshell and so they do not behave like transition metals.
