Answer:

After Eris was discovered, they had to decide whether Eris was a planet or not. If they decided it wasn't a planet, they had to also decide whether Pluto should be counted as a planet since Eris and Pluto were quite similar. They were the same size, and they were both part of the Kuiper Belt.

Please i need help understanding the facts about ions. and whats the answer??
Degger [83]

All are true except the statement that ions are formed by changing the number protons in an atom’s nucleus.

A neutral atom contains the same number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge).

If there are <em>more electrons than protons</em>, the atom becomes a <em>negative ion</em>.

If there are <em>fewer electrons than protons</em>, the atom becomes a <em>positive ion</em>.

The protons are in the nucleus, where we can’t easily get at them. The <em>electrons are outside the nucleus</em>, so other chemicals can easily get at them and either remove them or add to their number.

<em>Metals</em> have only a few valence electrons, so it is fairly easy to remove them and <em>form positive ions</em>.

Identify whether the description refers to a monomer, a polymer, or both. Macromolecule:
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Macromolecule: polymer

Repeating units: monomer

Simple molecule: monomer

Covalent bonds: both

Explanation:

A macromolecule is a very large molecule commonly created by the polymerization of smaller subunits called monomers. They are typically composed of thousands of atoms or more.

A  monomer is a molecule that can be reacted together with other monomer molecules to form a larger polymer chain.

Polymers include bounds between nonmetal atoms, therefore, they are joint by covalent bonds
