Zinc belongs to the family of Transition Metals. Transition Metals are ductile, malleable and conduct electricity and heat. They have valence electrons that are present in more than one orbital shell and exhibit similar oxidation states. Elements in the Periodic Table are set up in columns, grouping them by similar chemical characteristics. Zinc, Cadmium and Mercury all have 2 electrons in their outermost shells.
