A transition element contains partially filled d orbital in its ground state or oxidation state but elements like Zn, Cd, Hg contain fulfilled d orbitals in their grond state as well as oxidation state.

A transition element will have incompletely filled d orbital and forms more than one stable ions. Scandium is a d block element but not at all a transition element because when it loses 2 electrons from s orbital and and only one electron from d orbital it will become stable due to the electronic configuration...

A transition element will have incompletely filled d orbital and forms more than one stable ions. Scandium is a d block element but not at all a transition element because when it loses 2 electrons from s orbital and and only one electron from d orbital it will become stable due to the electronic configuration of noble gas . And also Zinc have full d orbitals. So Zinc also is considered as a d block element but not a transition element read less

In a metallic bond, why positive ions are called kernels, not cations?
The kernel is an atom without its valence electrons that are weakly bonded; no electron belongs to one nucleus, valence electrons can move one kernel to another. So it is known as kernel, not cation (have valency).
