Solution 1
Zinc is not considered a transition element because it does not have partly filled (or incomplete) d-subshell. It has 3d-subshell full filled.
Solution 2
Transition metals show vacant d-orbitals but Zn metal has completely filled d-orbitals.
∴ Zn is not regarded as the transition element.
