A transition element must have incomplete d-subshell. Zinc have completely filled d subshell having 3d10 configuration. Hence do not show properties of transition elements to any appreciable extent except for their ability to form complexes.

1. A transition element must have incomplete d-subshell.
2. Zinc have completely filled d subshell having 3d10 configuration.
3. Hence do not show properties of transition elements to any appreciable extent except for their ability to form complexes.
4. None of the above.

Correct answer: A transition element must have incomplete d-subshell.

Solution

The definition of a transition element is that it must have an incomplete d-subshell in its ground or common oxidation state. This makes option A correct.
