No, nitrogen does not have a low electron affinity.

Electron affinity increases as you go up and to the right on the Periodic Table. Thus, Groups I and II elements (ex. Cs, Ba, Sr, etc.) have LOW electron affinities and the halogens in Group VII (Br, Cl, F, etc) have the HIGHEST electron affinities.

Chlorine has the HIGHEST electron affinity on the periodic table.(Fluorine is an exception in this case.)

Polonium has the lowest electron affinity in the oxygen family.


Which halogen has the lowest first ionization potential?

The outer electrons in bigger halogens are further from the nucleus and so they feel less attraction and so are easier to remove. Therefore, astatine has the lowest ionisation potential of the halogens.
