When these metals form ions, the 4s electrons are always lost first. You must remember this: When d-block elements form ions, the 4s electrons are lost first. On the basis of the definition outlined above, scandium and zinc don't count as transition metals-even though they are members of the d block.
Women's suffragists parade in New York City in 1917, carrying placards with signatures of more than a million women. Women's suffrage in the United States, the legal right of women to vote, was established over the course of several decades, first in various states and localities, sometimes on a limited basis, and then nationally in 1920. The demand for women's suffrage began to gather strength in the 1840s, emerging from the broader movement for women's rights.
Women werenât allowed to vote until the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920. In fact, it took womenâs rights activists at least 70 years to win this right. In early America, women werenât allowed the same rights as men. Married women could neither own property nor legally claim any money they might earn. They also lacked the right to vote. The womenâs rights movement to win the right to vote didnât organize itself as a national fight until 1848. When the American Civil War broke out, the movement lost some momentum. Womenâs rights reformers strongly objected to the 15th Amendment that would give black men the right to vote but no women irrespective of skin color. In 1869, Wyoming Territory decreed that all female residents aged 21 years and above could vote.
