Dear Abhay ,
write the molecular orbital formula for both O2+ and O2
similarly do for N2 and N2+
according to aufbau principle , the energies of orbitals increases as 1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p
so note if the electrons are completely are partially filled.
if electrons are partially filled, then it is easier to break so it has higher dissociation enthalpy and
if electrons are completely filled in the orbitals , then it is harder to break them , so they have lower dissociation enthalpy.
The Molecular Oribitals filling will be given in the Chemical Bonding Chapter of your NCERT class XI Textbook
Hope that helps,
