Question

Choose the incorrect option from the following.

• A. Alkyl diazonium salts are highly unstable
• B. Aryl diazonium salts are stable at low temperature for a while
• C. Aryl diazonium salts are less stable than alkyl diazonium salts
• D. $C _{6} H _{5} N _{2}^{+} HSO _{4}^{-}$is named as benzene diazonium hydrogen sulphate

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Primary aliphatic amines form highly unstable alkyl diazonium salts. Primary aromatic amines form arenediazonium salts which are stable for a short time in solution at low temperatures $(273-278\, K )$.
