Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Hg

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Transition elements have partially filled d-orbitals.
\(\mathrm{Hg}=[\mathrm{Xe}] 5 \mathrm{~d}^{10} 6 \mathrm{~s}^2\)
Among the given elements, Hg has completely filled d-orbital in its ground state. Hence, it is not considered as transition element.
