    Zinc does riot show variable valency like d-block demerits because

    A)  it is low melting

    B)  its d-orbital is complete

    C)  it is a soft metal

    D)  two electrons are present in the outermost orbit

    E)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    In the d-block elements, zinc (Z = 30) has the configuration\[3{{d}^{10}},4{{s}^{2}}\]. It does not have partially filled d-subshell like other elements of the series. Therefore, it does not show variable valency.
