I would like to know the definite article usage with comparison between:"lo zio→gli zii“ and ”lo sbaglio→gli sbagli",why the end of the letter in "sbaglio" not replace with ii?

That's not really a question about the definite article, is it? Anyway, the difference is that the "i" in "zio" is stressed and therefore retained in the plural (zío → zíi), but in "sbaglio" it isn't (sbáglio → sbágli).
