Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Zinc (Zn) has the lowest melting point among the given metals as it is a post-transition metal and its bonding is weaker compared to the other transition metals. Scandium (Sc), vanadium (V), and manganese (Mn) are transition metals with stronger metallic bonding, and hence have higher melting points than zinc.
