A crystalline form of carbon , made of a network of covalent, tetrahedrally bound carbon atoms. Compare with enantiomer . Stereoisomers which are not mirror images of each other. Compare with binary compound and polyatomic molecule . A molecule that contains only two atoms.
Diazonium salts are unstable and explosive in dry form.
They are used to manufacture many different organic compounds, including azo dyes . See also diazotization . Diazotization is a reaction that converts an -NH 2 group connected to a phenyl ring to a diazonium salt. For example, Diazotization reactions are extremely useful in organic synthesis. It is toxic but much less so than chloroform or carbon tetrachloride, which were previously used for this purpose.
