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.

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-
