Aluminium is not considered a transition metal because it does not have partially filled d-orbitals in its electronic configuration. Transition metals are defined by their ability to form stable ions with partially filled d-orbitals, whereas aluminium's electron configuration fills its 3p orbital, making it belong to the group of post-transition metals.
