Chemistry

Pluto was ruled not a planet anymore because it is a "dwarf  planet"

Apparently, the International Astronomical Union's (IAU) definition of a planet includes that a planet should be part of a body that would orbit the sun.  

According to the IAU, there are three criteria's that contribute to a planet being called a planet.

1. It is within orbit around the Sun.

2. It has a sufficient mass to assume a nearly round shape

and 3. It has "cleared the neighborhood" around it's orbit.

Pluto only so happens to meet 2 of these requirements, not including the third option.

Answer:

In august 2006 the international astronomical union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of "Dwarf planet." this means that from now on only the rocky worlds of the inner solar system and the gas giants of the outer system will be designated.

What is the charge on an atom after it loses an electron during the formation of a bond?
Sphinxa [80]

I believe the charge is positive as losing an electron suggests that the atom lost a negative charge, leaving it with more positive than negative.

I haven't taken this in a few years very sorry if i'm wrong tho.

Fill in the blanks: Most metals have
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Most metals have <u>luster</u> which means they <u>reflect</u> light

Explanation:

When light, which is made up of energetic photons, comes in contact with the surface of a metal, it is absorbed due to the corresponding energy gaps present between the metal orbital. The absorbed photons results in the raising of the energy levels of electrons within an atom of the metal which later drop back to a lower energy level and re-emit the photons which can now be observed as the metallic luster.
