The presence of fully filled orbitals 1s to 6s makes the configuration more alike to noble elements . Thus there is a very less tendency to form metallic bonding by sharing , as it is difficult to remove electrons from the orbitals. Although Zn and Cd have similar configuration (stabilize 6s in Hg) makes them have slightly higher melting point .

Why is the melting and boiling points of mercury the lowest in its period?
The melting point of mercury is -38,83 0C. The boiling point of mercury is 356,73 0C.
Which metal has lowest boiling point?
Mercury Hg -38.8' Now you could consider Hydrogen to be a metal if you are willing to get creative with the definition of metal. In that case it would be −259.16 °C
