Answers:
They're all related as part of the Allium genus, known as the onion family, which includes vegetables: onions, shallots, leeks, scallions, and herbs: chives and garlic!.

Flavor-wise, shallots are milder, and are generally sweeter than your typical grocery store white or yellow onion!.

Scallions, also called green onions or spring onions, are also milder than regular onions because they lack a fully-developed root bulb!.

Chives are the smallest members of the onion family, and are also milder in taste!.

So, they're all related, but vary in degrees of mildness and sweetness!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

All in the onion family: Shallot is a very mild, sweet, small onion used especially in French cuisine!. A green onion or scallion is a small undeveloped, young onion which both the white bulb and green stems are used, especially in salads!. Chives are the green stems only of a tiny, extremely mild onion, used primarily as a garnish or in dips!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A shallot has a more mild flavor some people say they taste like a cross between an onion and garlic!. They are quite commonly found in French cooking!. Green onions are the long slender onions often called scallions and they are fairly mild alot of people eat them raw, dipped in dip, or cut up in salads!. And chives are often chopped up and used to top mashed potatoes, or other dishes where a little bit of onion flavor, and some color are welcome!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
