Lasaigne’s test is not shown by diazonium salts. Why?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Organic compounds are the compounds which are mainly composed C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with preparation, reactions, and properties of organic compounds.

The molecular formula of organic compound represents the number of bonded atoms with their atomic symbols. The structural formula represents all the bonded atoms with chemical bonds and the arrangement of atoms in the molecule. 

Step 2

Diazonium salts are the salts formed by the reaction of amines with HNO2 (NaNO2/ HCl). It is an ionic group with –N2Cl structure. The Lassaigne's test involves the combination of heteroatom ( N, S, and halogen) with sodium metal.
