A transition element is a d-block element which forms one or more stable ions with incompletely filled d-orbitals.
Zn only forms one stable ion, which is Zn2+.
If we look at the electronic configuration of Zn and the Zn2+ ion:
Note that [Ar] is 1s2 2s22p6 3s23p6
Zn : [Ar] 4s2 3d10
Zn2+ : [Ar] 3d10
The Zn2+ ion has a completely filled d-orbital, so therefore Zn cannot be defined as a transition element, as its only stable ion does not have an incompletely filled d-orbital.
Zn, as a result of not having a stable ion which has an incompletely filled d-orbital, does not have coloured compounds : they tend to be white, and does not form complexes with ligands or display any of the other characteristics that we associate with transition elements.
The transition elements are placed in center of periodic table. Examples are: zinc and copper
No. Most of the metals listed are not transition metals and most transition metals are not in the list.
Zinc is placed in group-12 and period-4 in the periodic table.It is placed in the centre and is a part of transition elements.
No, zinc is not an alkali metal. Alkali metals are the elements in Group 1 of the periodic table, which includes lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. Zinc is classified as a transition metal and is found in Group 12 of the periodic table. Transition metals are known for their variable oxidation states and ability to form colorful compounds.

Zinc is a metal element that is part of the transition metal group in the periodic table. It is not comprised of other metals, but it can be combined with other metals to form alloys like brass (zinc and copper) and nickel silver (zinc, copper, and nickel).
transition metals
No. Zn is Zinc, which is in the transition metals part of the periodic table.
Scandium through zinc belong to the transition metals class of elements. These elements are known for their variability in oxidation states and their ability to form colorful compounds.
Zinc is placed in group-12 and period-4 in the periodic table.It is placed in the centre and is a part of transition elements.
