Question: Primary aliphatic amines (RNH2) react with nitrous acid in the same way that primary arylamines (ArNH2) do, to form diazonium ions. But alkyldiazonium ions RN2+

Primary aliphatic amines (RNH2) react with nitrous acid in the same way that primary arylamines (ArNH2) do, to form diazonium ions. But alkyldiazonium ions RN2+ are much less stable than aryldiazonium ions ArN2+ and readily lose nitrogen even at 0°C. Explain the difference.
