Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

In the given figure, every region of constructive interference and destructive interference between the HOMO and LUMO is to be labeled.

Concept introduction:

The HOMO-LUMO orbital interaction concept is used to know how the reacting species interact. The electron-rich species is HOMO while the electron-deficient species is LUMO; they determine substantial net overlap in the transition state. When these two orbitals overlap with the same phases, the constructive interference occurs and the reaction is likely to be allowed. When these two orbitals overlap with the opposite phases, the destructive interference occurs and the reaction is likely to be not allowed (or forbidden).

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."
