Why pluto is removed from planet?​

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.

In the absence of sodium methoxide, the same alkyl bromide gives a different product. Draw an arrowpushing mechanism to account
hoa [83]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, cause you are not providing the structure. However, I found the question and it's attached in picture 1.

Now, according to this reaction and the product given, we can see that we have sustitution reaction. In the absence of sodium methoxide, the reaction it's no longer in basic medium, so the sustitution reaction that it's promoted here it's not an Sn2 reaction as part a), but instead a Sn1 reaction, and in this we can have the presence of carbocation. What happen here then?, well, the bromine leaves the molecule leaving a secondary carbocation there, but the neighbour carbon (The one in the cycle) has a more stable carbocation, so one atom of hydrogen from that carbon migrates to the carbon with the carbocation to stabilize that carbon, and the result is a tertiary carbocation. When this happens, the methanol can easily go there and form the product.

For question 6a, as it was stated before, the mechanism in that reaction is a Sn2, however, we can have conditions for an E2 reaction and form an alkene. This can be done, cause the extoxide can substract the atoms of hydrogens from either the carbon of the cycle or the terminal methyl of the molecule and will form two different products of elimination. The product formed in greater quantities will be the one where the negative charge is more stable, in this case, in the primary carbon of the methyl it's more stable there, so product 1 will be formed more (See picture 2)

For question 6b, same principle of 6a, when the hydrogen migrates to the 2nd carbocation to form a tertiary carbocation the methanol will promove an E1 reaction with the vecinal carbons and form two eliminations products. See picture 2 for mechanism of reaction.

Which of the following pairs of elements could possibly be in the same group? X has a 1+ ion; Y has a 1- ion. X tends to form a
exis [7]
Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.
