Identify the diazonium group in the diazonium salt ArN2+Br−.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → N2+
In \( \ce{ArN2^+Br^-} \), Ar is the aryl group and \( \ce{Br^-} \) is the anion; the \( \ce{N2^+} \) part joined to the aryl group is the diazonium group.
