Solution:

Ionisation enthalpy of N is greater than O because N has half filled p subshell. B < C < O < N ( ionization enthalpy)

Electron gain enthalpy of F is less than Cl because in F small size of 2p orbital result in high electron density so inter electronic repulsion is high.
I < Br < F < Cl (electron gain enthalpy)
