Why is Nitrogen dioxide , a strong -I producing group that fluorine , or chlorine etc ? This must mean that NO₂ is more electronegative that halogens also , but why is it so ? Is it due to resonance ? Or due to the fact that its formed from a coordinate compound HNO₃ ?

Please Help !!

Thanks in advance...

Think of the formal charges associated with the nitro group.

Well due to -R or negative mesomeric effect , or resonance , formal charge of +1 is on the nitro group. Right ? Is this the reason for my question ?
