Zinc is not consider as a transition metal because its compounds or ions (Zn2+) contain a full filled d-orbital or sub shell and are unstable.Moreover it have only one ion which is the (Zn2+). Hence zinc do not form colored aqueous ions because it do not have at least one vacant d-orbital in which it can receive an electron in a reaction. Considering Zinc not as a transition metal require you to understand and see into consideration the properties of transition metals . You can start with their ability to have variable oxidation state and their catalytic nature in reactions. Here are some of the characteristic of a transition metal They form compound with variable oxidation states They are good catalyst in most reactions They exhibit para-magnetism They form complexes They form colored ions with compound
