In what way is zinc similar to cadmium which is located just below it on the periodic table?

The two metals both have two electrons in their outer or valence shell. That gives them (predominantly) a +2 electronegativity. This is probably the most fundamental similarity between zinc and cadmium. The two elements are in Group 12 of the Periodic Table, and elements in the same group gnerally share some chemical tendencies. That's why they're in the same group, which is an appointment (a placement) based on electron structure.

What element has a similar chemical propertie to Mercury?
The element cadmium is above mercury in the periodic table. And above cadmium is the element zinc. They're similar. Use the link below to see the Wikipedia periodic table. It's an interactive table, and each element is a link to the Wikipedia post on that element. Bookmark this table, friends. It's a great homework and reference tool!Those two elements (Cd and Zn) are similar to Hg because they are in the same group/family. Elements that are grouped into families are done so because they are have similar characteristics.
