Detailed Solution

Melting point is max. for Cr and minimum for Cd.
 

Electronic configuration is as follows:
         Cr =[Ar]3d54s1 , Cd =[Kr]4d105s2
Cr has 5 unpaired electrons & has strong metallic bonding due to all unpaired electrons of 'S' and 'p' orbitals. So 'Cr' has high M.P.

In case of 'Cd' has no unpaired electrons so no participating in bonding.

Therefore minimum M.P.in 2nd transition series.
