Problem Description:
The task involves analyzing ionic bonding reactions between pairs of elements. For each reaction, you need to:
1. Draw atomic diagrams showing the electron configurations of the atoms involved.
2. Indicate the transfer of electrons during the chemical reaction.
3. Show the resulting ions formed in the product.
4. Fill in a table summarizing the information for each reaction.
The provided worksheet includes five reactions, and the solution involves completing the table and drawing the necessary diagrams.
