Negative inductive effect in nitro group...
In my textbook , its written that NO2 is a very strong -I producing group ( negative inductive effect) , even more stronger than fluorine
or chlorine etc... Why is it so ? Due to resonance or something ?

Its because nitrogen is electronegative element and it has a positive charge on it. Thus it draw electrons from whatever it is bound to. It is also an
even stronger -M group (negatively mesomeric effect.
