Given below are two statements; one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason(R). Assertion : The alkyldiazonium salt are unstable but the arenediazonium salt are stable for a short time at low temperature ( (0^ -5^ C )) Reason : Due to resonance in arenediazonium salt carbon-nitrogen bond becomes stronger than alkyldiazonium salt. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropria
Options
- ABoth (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
- BBoth (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
- C(A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
- D(A) is not correct but (R) is correct.
Correct answer
A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Step-by-step solution
Assertion (A): The alkyldiazonium salts are unstable but the arenediazonium salts are stable for a short time at low temperatures ( (0^ -5^ C ) ). This statement is correct. Alkyldiazonium salts tend to decompose rapidly, while arenediazonium salts can be relatively stable at low temperatures for a short period. Reason (R): Due to resonance in arenediazonium salt, the carbon-nitrogen bond becomes stronger than in alkyldiazonium salt. This statement is also correct. The resonance stabilization in arenediazonium salt
