Transition elements are those elements in which the atoms or ions (in stable oxidation state) contain partially filled d orbital. These elements lie in the d-block and show a transition of properties between s-block and p-block. Therefore, these are called transition elements. Elements such as Zn, Cd, and Hg cannot be classified as transition elements because these have completely filled d subshell.
