Which of the following options is correct regarding the property of benzene diazonium fluoroborate? |
It is water-soluble at room temperature It is water-insoluble and stable at room temperature It is a coloured solid None of these |
It is water-insoluble and stable at room temperature |
The correct answer is option 2. It is water-insoluble and stable at room temperature. Diazonium salts two nitrogen atoms with one being charged. Some examples of these salts are Benzenediazonium chloride, benzene diazonium hydrogen sulfate, benzene diazonium fluoroborate etc. Diazonium salts are one of the most versatile combinations of organic and inorganic components. Generally, diazonium salts have \(Cl^−\), \(Br^−\), \(BF_4^−\) as \(X\). The name of these salts is based on the presence of the \(N_2^+\) group or the diazonium group. The naming of these salts is done by adding the suffix diazonium to the parent hydrocarbon from which they are derived and then it is followed by the anion X such as bromide. The important properties of Diazonium Salts are:
From the above properties, we can conclude that the correct answer to this question is option 2. |
