Answer:

Tough outer shell

Explanation:

Three types of space suits based on their purpose are IVA (Intravehicular activity), EVA (extravehicular activity), and IEVA (intra/extravehicular activity)

Space suits have an outer layer known as the Integrated Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment also known as the TMG or ITMG

The functions of the TMG includes the provision of an insulation medium to the wearer of the suit thereby preventing loss of heat and keeping the wearer warm, protect the wearer from solar radiation which are harmful as well as from Micrometeoroid and debris orbiting in space known as MMOD

The outermost layer of the EMU TMG suits is white Ortho-Fabric that consists of Nomex, Kevlar and Gore-Tex, making it fire resistant, very strong and very tough, and water proof as well as breathable.

Hoochie [10]
B
mass of solute - 4.0 g
mass of solution - 100g + 4.0g = 104g
4/104 = 0.03846

Draw the Lewis structure for BCl3. How many single bonds, double bonds, triple bonds, and unshared pairs of electrons are on the
andreev551 [17]

Answer :  The number of single bonds, double bonds, triple bonds, and unshared pairs of electrons on the central atom are, 3, 0, 0 and 0 respectively.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, BCl_3

As we know that boron has '3' valence electrons and chlorine has '7' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in BCl_3 = 3 + 3(7) = 24

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 18 number of non-bonding electrons.

From the Lewis-dot structure we conclude that,

The number of single bonds, double bonds, triple bonds, and unshared pairs of electrons on the central atom are, 3, 0, 0 and 0 respectively.
