All of the following are typical transition elements EXCEPT:
Correct answer: D. Zn
- A. Cr
- B. Fe
- C. Cu
- D. Zn
Explanation
The correct option is D) Zn (Zinc). Zinc is not considered a typical transition element due to its full d-subshell in its most stable oxidation state, which sets it apart from the other options that exhibit typical transition metal properties.

About Electronic Structure of d-Block Elements
The electronic structure of d-block elements covers the filling of the (n-1)d and ns orbitals, general electronic configurations, and the exceptions shown by chromium and copper. It explains how partially filled d orbitals produce variable oxidation states, coloured ions, magnetic behaviour and complex formation, while distinguishing transition elements from elements with completely filled d subshells.
