Nitrogen will have maximum ionisation enthalpy as half filled stability in 2p3, then phosphorus as electron had to be removed from farther orbital 3p3, in 16 group,oxyg oxygen followed by sulphur. So S<O<P<N ii) P<N<S<O,as oxygen electronegativity is more than Sulphur, similarly, nitrogen...

How would you explain the lower atomic radius of Ga as compared to Al?
Ga is present in 3rd period after the d-block in the periodic table, In this due to poor shielding effect of d electron effective nuclear charge increases that pull outershell electron more strongly hence has smaller size.
