Find the order of acidic strength
@IvanNeretin Thanks! I had read that 3d orbitals of $CCl_3^-$ stabilize it quite a bit so thought the same would apply here.

@IvanNeretin would the vacant 3d-orbitals of Sulphur not delocalize the negative charge? I understand that the extent of delocalization would be less and it won't change the answer yet no mention of it is making me confused.

Which hydrogen in 3-ethynyltoluene is the most acidic?
@Mithoron True. I just used to think that the stabilizing effect of resonance is multitudes greater than negative charge on an sp Carbon.

How is propene more reactive as well as more stable than ethene?
@user55119 Then what do we mean when we say, "more substituted alkenes are more stable"? I have seen this statement in a lot of places.
comment
How is propene more reactive as well as more stable than ethene?
@user55119 The one that has less positive heat of formation. I think of the measure of what reacts less rapidly with a particular electrophile as their reactivity.

@user55119 The more stable compound would start to disintegrate at a higher temperature.

@TeslaBolt I meant that propene has higher nucleophilicity than ethene. I am reacting them both with the same electrophile.

What is the order of decreasing stability among following molecules?
@KarstenTheis Thanks! How to compare between I and II?

Which is more reactive towards electrophilic aromatic substitution? Benzene or naphthalene?
Thank you. Wouldn't it increase nucleophilicity as well as electrophilicity of napthlene? The electrophiles can react with bonds with more bond order and nucleophiles can react with bonds with less bond order.
