Are later and discovered nouns?

No, the words 'later' and 'discovered' are not nouns.The word 'later' is the comparative form of the adjectiveand adverb 'late' (later, latest).The word 'discovered' is the past participle, past tense of the verb to discover. The past participle of the verb also functions as an adjective.Examples:We can take the later train. (adjective)She arrived later than usual. (adverb)I discovered a great little shoe store. (verb)His newly discovered hobby is absorbing all of his time. (adjective)


Why is there a section cut out of the periodic table of elements?

See also the "Related Questions" link to the left of this answer: "Why are elements arranged as they are in the periodic table?" Once you've looked at the question above, read this: The gaps are due to the fact that the different electron orbitals (s, p, d, f) hold different numbers of electrons each. An s-orbital can hold at most 2 electrons, while a p-orbital can hold up to 6, a d-orbital can hold up to 10, and an f-orbital can hold as many as 14 electrons. In order to align the columns of the periodic table so that each element in the column has the same outermost (or valence) electron configuration, there need to be gaps. Actually, if you look at the modern periodic table, there is always a block of elements separate from the others (called the Lanthanides and Actinides, or the f-block elements) at the bottom. You can actually draw the periodic table with even bigger gaps is if you include those together with the rest of the elements. Drawing it this way is cumbersome because it is so long and narrow, but it is actually a better way to see the trends in the electron configurations. See the Web Links to the left for periodic tables that show the electron configurations of each element, as well as this funny looking stretched out version with the f-block elements all in the same table.mendeleevs left the gaps for the elements that's hadnt been dicovered by then but he pridicted that more element can be discovered in the future and placed them according to their properties after a specific period.Some elements pridicted by mendeleevs were eka aluminum which we today call galium.Eka means an element with similar properties to that of aluminum and galium does have properties similar to aluminum.


Did they really discover a new planet in 2014-2015?

There are currently over a thousand known planets, most of them discovered recently; I would guess that currently, dozens of planets, perhaps over a hundred planets, are discovered every year.

What is the new planet called outsite the solar system December 2011?

The latest discovered exoplanet(that is outside our solar system) is Kepler-20f. It has approximately the size of Earth and it's in the goldilocks zone of it's star. Exoplanets are being discovered too quickly right now for "latest" to have meaning for longer than a couple of days... a week at most. It's still December 2011, and 20f is no longer the latest discovery.


Who discovered the latest robots?

um... pretty sure no-one's 'discovered' any robots, but if you mean the people who first saw them, then I guess that'd be the inventor of the robot? And the answer to THAT question would probably be someone in Japan. No racism intended. :)
