An unstable salt is decomposed at room temperature and pressure, is easily decomposed by heating, by irradiation with different types of radiation, after the contact with other compounds or elements, become explosive after a mechanical shock etc.

Why must the diazonium salt be kept cold?

Diazonium salts are unstable and can undergo decomposition to form highly reactive species. By keeping them cold, the reaction rate is reduced, which helps to minimize side reactions and increase the selectivity of the desired reaction. Additionally, the cold temperature helps to prevent the diazonium salt from decomposing prematurely.
