Yes. It's true. Chlorine has the highest electron affinity, then Fluorine, Bromine and Iodine
It depends. If Fluorine is bonded to Hydrogen then it would be greater, having present Hydrogen Bonding-the strongest Intermolecular Force. Iodine,I2, has many more electrons than fluorine, F2,so London dispersion forces are much stronger explaining why fluorine is a gas and iodine is a solid under standard conditions.
theyhave more neutrons and protons
The best modern answer would involve quantum chemistry, but an easier to understand explanation is that the outermost electrons in fluorine are much closer to the nucleus that provides the attraction to hold the electrons and nucleus together as an atom than are the outermost electrons in iodine. This is sometimes called the "screening effect" of inner shell electrons that weakens the attraction between the nucleus and the outer shell electrons in large atoms such as iodine.
Because fluorine has greater electronegativity than oxygen.
Yes. Fluorine is more reactive than iodine.
No, nitrogen is more electronegative than iodine. Electronegativity of nitrogen= 3.04 Electronegativity of Iodine = 2.66
Because fluorine's size is lower than that of iodine, it has a greater ionization energy than iodine. Fluorine, on the other hand, appears to have a smaller shielding effect. As a result, fluorine's nucleus attracts more valence electrons than iodine's.

iodine is having higher boiling point
Fluorine has higher electron affinity than any other element.
Because fluorine has greater electronegativity than oxygen.
