QJEEM22Ch8122: JEE Main 2022 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM22Ch8122 Solution: The correct stability order of the following diazonium salt is
The correct stability order of the following diazonium salt is
Multiple Choice Options
- A (A)>(B)>(C)>(D)
- B (A)>(C)>(D)>(B)
- C (C)>(A)>(D)>(B)
- D (C)>(D)>(B)>(A)
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Diazonium salt containing aryl group directly linked to electron donating group is most stable due to resonance. The +M effect stabilizes the intermediate whereas Electron withdrawing group on benzene destabilizes the intermediate at the para position.
Order will be A > C > D > B.
