NEET (UG) 2025 — Question 69
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Statement I and the other is labelled as Statement II:
Statement I: Benzenediazonium salt is prepared by the reaction of aniline with nitrous acid at . It decomposes easily in the dry state.
Statement II: Insertion of iodine into the benzene ring is difficult and hence iodobenzene is prepared through the reaction of benzenediazonium salt with KI.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- Option A:Correct
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
- Option B:
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- Option C:
