Definition
An ionic compound that is formed upon the treatment of a primary amine with NaNO2 and HCl.
Explanation
Any form of molecular structure that has this particular formation R-N+—N. R in this case represents an automated removal of hydrogen from the organic compound. This reaction usually occurs when nitrous acid initiates an animation process (diazotization). Diazonium salts are very unstable and can quickly collapse into Nitrogen and a carbonium ion.
