Amines

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: Primary aliphatic amines react with HNO2\mathrm{HNO_2} to give unstable diazonium salts.

Statement II: Primary aromatic amines react with HNO2\mathrm{HNO_2} to form diazonium salts which are stable even above 300 K.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. A.Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  2. B.Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  3. C.Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  4. D.Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect✓

You have the answer. The worked solution — and why the other three were written — is part of a paid pack.
