Elements in which the last electron enters the d-orbitals, are called d-block elements. These elements have general outer electronic configuration (n-1)d1-10 ns0-2. Zn, Cd and Hg which have general electronic configuration, (n-1) d10ns2 do not show most of the properties of transition elements. d-orbitals in these elements are completely filled in the ground state as well as in their common oxidation states. Thus, on the basis of properties, all transition elements are d-block elements but on the basis of electronic configuration, all d- block elements are not transition elements.
