Ionization energy is always a positive quantity, whereas electron affinity may be positive or negative. Explain.

The radius trend and the ionization energy trend are exact opposites. Does this make sense? Define electron affinity. Electron affinity values are both exothermic (negative) and endothermic (positive).
