Q. Qualitative analysis of organic compounds is performed by Lassaigne's test by fusion with metallic sodium, by which the covalent compounds are converted into ionic compounds. Extra elements like $N, S, P$, and halogens are detected by their usual tests
Which of the following compounds will give positive Lassaigne's test for nitrogen

Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

Positive Lassaigne's test is given by the compound which contains both $C$ and $N$. Moreover, this test is not given by diazonium compounds because they lose $N _2$ on heating much before they react with $Na$
