Uranus is the seventh major planet from the sun. If you count dwarf planets, Uranus is the eighth. If you count dwarf planets and protoplanets, Uranus is the tenth. It is the first of the two ice giants, cold gas giants, in our system, or the third gas giant, depending on how rigidly you classify the solar system.

You're probably confused by hearing that Pluto isn't a planet. Pluto is still exactly what it always was... a tiny chunk of icy rock considerably smaller than the Moon. It's just that we have standards for what we dignify with the term "planet", and Pluto doesn't meet them (it never did, but at one time we thought it was a lot bigger than it really turned out to be).
Pluto is large enough to be in hydrostatic equilibrium, which makes it a "dwarf planet". It's actually one of the larger dwarf planets.
It's certainly possible to quibble with the technical details of the IAU's definition of "planet", but any reasonable definition puts Mercury firmly on the "planet" side of the line and Pluto firmly on the "not-planet" side of the line.

Which statement below does not describe a scientifically reasonable explanation for why the nebular theory failed to predict the existence of the hot Jupiters?
The nebular theory applies only to our solar system; other solar systems need their own formation theories.
