Account for the following : (i) Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are more stable than those of aliphatic amines. (ii) Amines are more basic than alcohols of comparable molecular masses. |
Answer» SOLUTION :(i) Diazonium SALTS of aromatic amines are more stable than those of aliphatic amines due to DISPERSAL of the POSITIVE charge on the benzene ring as shown below :  (ii) Amines are more BASIC than alcohols of comparable molecular masses : `R-overset(..)underset(H)underset(|)(N)-H"" R-overset(..)underset(..)O-H` |
