Hillenbrand explores the extraordinary risks faced by America's WWII airmen: 54,00 men killed in combat, 36,000 killed in noncombat aircraft accidents, and a stunning 15,000 men killed in stateside training–at times, an average of 19 per day. Men faced a 50% chance of being killed during combat tours of only 30-40 missions. Were you aware of the dangers faced by airmen in the Pacific war? What facts and stories were most surprising to you?

Answer and Explanation:

1. I was already aware that all the men who participated in the pacific war faced great danger, including savioristas. This is because being involved in a war, includes risking, at all times, being hit by the enemy army, whose main objective is to cause their death, or disability, reducing the army's proactivity. This reinforces the idea that the wars are very disadvantageous scenarios and capable of causing a lot of pain and suffering to all those involved in it.

2. As a war is a devastating thing, by nature, no particular fact or story was able to surprise me, but we were always shocked when we discovered the number of deaths caused in battles. This was no different when I read the text, since the death number left me stunned and with a strong feeling of remorse.

Atomic Structure and Forces Activity
Introduction
The periodic table provides a wealth of knowledge about every known element. From the table, you can learn about an element’s physical and chemical properties, such as its available valence electrons or reactivity with other elements. Using terminology and information from the lesson, you will conduct an “interview” with an element and publish what you discover about its properties and bonding capabilities.
Procedures:
Choose an element from the periodic table to interview.
Conduct research on your element. Use the following as a guide for the kind of information you need to learn about your element to successfully complete the assignment.

Atomic number
Atomic mass
Symbol
Number of subatomic particles
Its position on the periodic table and its chemical properties based on that position
Typical compounds formed by your element
The history of your element's discovery
Five uses for your element or its common compounds
Where your element or its compounds can be found in the real world
At least one photo or drawing of your element

Arrange the information into a coherent interview that consists of an introduction followed by alternating questions (to the element) and answers (from the element).
Use a magazine layout or similar format to present the interview. You may choose to complete the layout of the project with art supplies or using a computer or online resource.
Be sure the work is your own and you include citations for each of the resources included.
Conclude with a summary paragraph that answers your reflection questions.
(Use the student sample as a guide on format only. It does not include the full content required for the activity.)
Reflection Questions
Summarize the physical and chemical properties of the element you selected.
In the lesson, many models were used to depict the atom. How did these models help you understand atomic structure?
How do protons, neutrons, and electrons differ in terms of their electrical charges and locations within the atom?
Describe the four fundamental forces. Which of these forces are involved in chemical bonding?
