Question

Q.What do you under by diazotization? Describe the chemical properties and structure of diazonium chloride?

Answer 1

Benzenediazonium chloride is an organic compound with the formula [C6H5N2]Cl. It is a salt of a diazonium cation and chloride. It exists as a colourless solid that is soluble in polar solvents including water. It is the parent member of the aryldiazonium compounds,[1]which are widely used in organic chemistry. Because the salt is unstable, it is not commercially available but is prepared upon demand.
