The role of ionization energy and electron affinity in determining the possibility of ionic bond formation between atoms of two elements has to be explained. Concept Introduction: Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the valence electron of an atom when it is in gaseous state. In periodic table ionization energy of elements decreases down the column or group and increases across the row or period as it is inversely proportional to the atomic size. Electron affinity is defined as the energy released when an electron is added (gained by an atom) to the atom in its gaseous state forming negative ion. In periodic table electron affinity of elements decreases down the column or group and increases across the row or period as it is inversely proportional to the atomic size.

I have a question about this problem involving mechanisms and drawing curved arrows for acids and bases. I know we need to identify the nucleophile and electrophile, but are there different types of reactions? For instance, what about Grignard reagents and other types that I might not be familiar with? Can you help me with this? I want to identify the names of the mechanisms for problems 1-14, such as Gilman reagents and others. Are they all the same? Also, could you rewrite it so I can better understand? The handwriting is pretty cluttered. Additionally, I need to label the nucleophile and electrophile, but my main concern is whether those reactions differ, like the "Brønsted-Lowry acid-base mechanism, Lewis acid-base mechanism, acid-catalyzed mechanisms, acid-catalyzed reactions, base-catalyzed reactions, nucleophilic substitution mechanisms (SN1 and SN2), elimination reactions (E1 and E2), organometallic mechanisms, and so forth."
