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.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(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 :
