Can someone check if this is right because the examples I see seem to do ionisation energy of Ca before its atomisation.
Bit messy sorry
Also is the electron affinity bit correct? Because the one on the notes has a + e-. But i thought electron affinity was removing electrons. Im also not sure if the final arrow is down or up?

Electron affinity is adding electrons, ionisation energy is losing electrons
For the final arrow you just need to think about whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic (exo = down, endo = up)
