The diazonium molecule includes a nitrogen atom with a quadruple bond. Nitrogen has 3 valance electrons and normally forms a triple bond. The quadruple bond is highly unstable for nitrogen, and therefore, it can easily fail, leading to immediate and dramatic chemical change, which we observe in the form of an explosion.

Why aryl diazonium salt are more stable then alkyl diazonium salt?
The reason is that the aryl group is able to stabalize the diazonium salt through resonance, while the alkyl group may not be resonance stabalized.
Why must the diazonium salt be kept cold?
Because diazonium ions are unstable at room temperature and become decomposed giving the Nitrogen gas.
Give the hydrolysis of diazonium salt?
Diazonium salts are unstable compounds, aromatic diazonium compound on hydrolysis give phenol and Nitrogen gas. C6H5-N2+Cl- + NaOH(Aq.) = C6H5-OH + N2 + NaCl
Why is it essential to keep the diazonium salt at zero degrees while you are forming the sodium 2-naphthoxide?
Because diazonium ions are unstable at room temperature and they can decompose
What types of aromatic compounds will couple with an aromatic diazonium salt?
activated rings of phenol and aromatic amines-- that is based from the manual. you can read it if you like...

What is disonium salt?
Check the spelling: probable you think to disodium or diazonium.

What are alkyl diazonium salts?
Diazonium means, Di=2, azo=nitrogen and ium= +charge, so two nitrogen atoms having positive charge is a diazonium ion, when such ion is attached to alkyl group it is Alkyl diazonium ion and a negative ion attached to this ion means alkyl diazonium salt as R-N2+Cl-

What is the purpose of the HCl in diazonium salt formation?
Not sure either, but i would guess that it is to protonate the oxygens so that they can leave?
What is the purpose of the NaNO2 when preparing the Pauly reagent?
In the presence of sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid, sulfanilc acid form a diazonium salt. This salt react with and is an indicator for thyrosine, histidine.

Why diazonium salts of aromatic amines are more stable than those of aliphatic amines?
the intermediate positively charged nitrogen is being supplied by large electron clouds coming from both sides, i.e., the intermediary triple bonds with the other N that is attached to a conjugate base (that's why it is a diazonium salt) and the pi electron cloud from the benzene ring.... this makes the aromatic diazonium salt much more stable on the other hand, the intermediate positively charged nitrogen is much less stable due to a weak van der waals and london forces coming from the aliphatic alkyl chain although the intermediary triple bonds of another nitrogen is near-by. thus, it is the large pi electron cloud of the aromatic ring which stabilies the positively charged nitrogen of the diazonium salt
What is the most explosve bomb?
The hydrogen bomb is the most powerful bomb ever tested.
What chemicals are in a grenade?
the chemicals used in a grenead are many explosve elements like ZnO and PbO
