Talk:Group 12 element

I am seeking comments on a proposal to color code the group 12 elements as post-transition metals in the Wikipedia periodic table, rather than transition metals as they are currently color coded.

The RfC can be found here. Sandbh (talk) 23:11, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Fr also is, since its melting point is only 297K (about 300K). — xayahrainie43, 2018. 09.01 10:59

:The melting point of Fr is only a guesstimate according to our article on that element. We can't say anything in an article that isn't citeable to a reliable source. DMacks (talk) 09:13, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

If we know so much about Cp, then why are all these tables for Cp blank? Porygon-Z 15:26, 26 November 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Porygon-Z474 (talk • contribs)

:First of all, it is Cn, not Cp. Second of all, we really do not know all that much about Cn; most of what is written there is in fact only predicted, as it must be as long as we have no way of making it in bulk quantities. Double sharp (talk) 15:48, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

::Oops, sorry. OK, then it looks bare. Can you add any more to it? Maybe from the article? Porygon-Z 21:16, 27 November 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Porygon-Z474 (talk • contribs)

Why zink is included in d block transition metal group? 103.113.172.5 (talk) 05:28, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

:Not sure if I'm understanding your question, but zinc is in group 12 in the d-block because it has a d¹⁰ s² electron configuration. ComplexRational (talk) 15:52, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
