Why is the intermediate compound in Sulfonation electrically more stable ?(a) It contains negative charge(b) It contains positive charge(c) It’s neutral(d) None of the mentionedThe question was posed to me during a job interview.I'd like to ask this question from Kinetics, Mechanism and Thermodynamics in section Sulfonation and Sulfation of Unit Processes

Answer»

Correct choice is (a) It CONTAINS negative charge

The explanation: The intermediate COMPOUND above is electrically NEUTRAL and, therefore, more STABLE than the analogous intermediates involved in nitration and halogenation, which BEAR positive charges.
