Why the first ionization energy of group 15 elements much higher than those of corresponding group 14 elements?

The first ionization energy of group 15 elements much higher than those of corresponding group 14 elements this is due to increase in nuclear charge and extra stable configuration of the elements of this group. The extra stability of configuration is attributed to the exactly half filled p – orbitals in their valence shells.

Decomposition of H2O2 follows a first order reaction. In fifty minutes the concentration of H2O2 decreases from 0.5 to 0.125 M in one such decomposition. When the concentration of H2O2 reaches 0.05 M, the rate of formation of O2 will be : [JEE MAINS 2016]

What are Zeeman and Stark effects? Were they explained by the Bohr’s theory?

The splitting of spectral lines into many components in the presence of a magnetic field is called Zeeman effect.

Analogously, the splitting of spectral lines into many components in the presence of an electric field is called Stark effect. 

These effects could not be explained within the framework of Bohr's theory and required the presence of multiple non-circular orbits corresponding to each energy level. An effort, with some degree of success, was made by Sommerfeld to explain these phenomena by invoking multiple elliptical orbits corresponding to each energy level. The Bohr Sommerfeld theory was ultimately discarded along with Bohr's model for other reasons.

Ionization energy of Boron is smaller than Beryllium even though effective nuclear charge is higher?

The electronic configurations of Boron and Beryllium are (₅B=1S²,2S²,2p¹) and (₄Be =1S²,2S²).

In Boron the outermost electron is present in the 2p orbital (low penetration power) and is less strongly bound than the electron present in a 2S orbital of Beryllium (Have more penetration power), which will has a higher Zeff. It is easier to ionize the Boron atom.
