JEE Main 2022 (Online) 26th July Morning Shift Chemistry - Compounds Containing Nitrogen Question 84 English

$$(\mathrm{A})>(\mathrm{B})>(\mathrm{C})>(\mathrm{D})$$

$$(\mathrm{A})>(\mathrm{C})>(\mathrm{D})>(\mathrm{B})$$

$$(\mathrm{C})>(\mathrm{A})>(\mathrm{D})>(\mathrm{B})$$

$$(\mathrm{C})>(\mathrm{D})>(\mathrm{B})>(\mathrm{A})$$

Explanation

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.
