प्रश्न
Give reasons for the following statement:
Zn, Cd, and Hg are soft metals.
Zn, Cd, and Hg are soft metals. Why?

उत्तर
Metal atoms like Zn, Cd and Hg have completely filled d-orbitals (d10 configuration). Thus, d-electrons are not available for metallic bond formation. As a result, these metals are quite soft and also have low melting points.
