However the group 12 metals have much lower melting and boiling points since their full d subshells prevent d–d bonding, which again tends to differentiate them from the accepted transition metals. Mercury has a melting point of −38.83 °C (−37.89 °F) and is a liquid at room temperature.
It is a silvery-gray, heavy, third-row transition metal in group 7 of the periodic table. With an estimated average concentration of 1 part per billion (ppb), rhenium is one of the rarest elements in the Earth's crust. It has one of the highest melting and boiling points of any element.

The α phase has one third of the electrical resistivity [29] and a much lower superconducting transition temperature T C relative to the β phase: ca. 0.015 K vs. 1–4 K; mixing the two phases allows obtaining intermediate T C values. [30] [31] The T C value can also be raised by alloying tungsten with another metal (e.g. 7.9 K for W-Tc). [32]
Its high boiling point (2519 °C) enables the reaction to reach very high temperatures, since several processes tend to limit the maximum temperature to just below the boiling point. Such a high boiling point is common among transition metals (e.g., iron and copper boil at 2887 and 2582 °C, respectively), but is especially unusual among the ...
For a metal, zinc has relatively low melting (419.5 °C) and boiling point (907 °C). [29] The melting point is the lowest of all the d-block metals aside from mercury and cadmium; for this reason among others, zinc, cadmium, and mercury are often not considered to be transition metals like the rest of the d-block metals. [29]
For a metal, zinc has relatively low melting (419.5 °C, 787.1 °F) and boiling points (907 °C, 1,665 °F). [8] Cadmium is similar in many respects to zinc but forms complex compounds. [ 16 ] Unlike other metals, cadmium is resistant to corrosion and as a result it is used as a protective layer when deposited on other metals.
