• Typical And Non-Typical Transition Elements: Group IIB elements ( Zn, Cd and Hg ) do not have a partially filled d-subshell either as elements or in any of their ionic state. Neither do they show typical properties of transition elements to any appreciable extent (except complex formation). Similarly, IIIB ( Sc, Y and La ) is another group of elements which do not show many of the properties associated with typical transition elements.
• They are transition elements by definition, as there is one electron in the d-subshell of each atom. In compounds they mostly occur as the tripositive ions, having no d-electron ( the atom having lost its only one d-electron ), hence they do not exhibit properties of transition elements and behave like main group elements.
• In order to maintain a rational classification, the elements of group IIB and group IIIB are referred to as non-typical transition elements and the elements in the remaining transition series are called typical transition elements.
