As we learnt in

Fate of aromatic diazonium ion -

Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are comparatively more stable and evolve nitrogen only on heating.These diazonium salts can be isolated at low temperatures.

-

 

 

This diazonium salt is stable because positive charge can participate in resonance.

 


Option 1)

\text{CH}_{3}\text{N}_{2}^{+}\text{X}^{-}

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

\text{C}_{6}\text{H}_{5}\text{N}_{2}^{+}\text{X}^{-}

This option is correct.

Option 3)

\text{CH}_{3}\text{CH}_{2}\text{N}_{2}^{+}\text{X}^{-}

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)

\text{C}_{6}\text{H}_{5}\text{CH}_{2}\text{N}_{2}^{+}\text{X}^{-}

This option is incorrect.
