Question

Assertion (A): Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are more stable than those of aliphatic amines. Reason (R): Diazonium salts of aliphatic amines show resonance.

• A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
• B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
• C. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false
• D. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Hint:

Aromatic diazonium salts are useful in azo coupling reactions, forming azo dyes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- Aromatic diazonium salts exhibit greater stability compared to aliphatic diazonium salts, owing to resonance stabilization facilitated by the benzene ring. - Aliphatic diazonium salts lack resonance and undergo facile decomposition. - Given that the Assertion (A) is true and the Reason (R) is false, option (C) is the correct choice.
