Draw the diazonium cation formed when cytosine reacts with NaNO2 in the presence of HCl. cytosine reacts with N a N O 2 and H C l. Cytosine is a 6 membered ring consisting of a nitrogen bonded to a hydrogen at position 1, a carbon double bonded to oxygen at position 2, and a nitrogen at position 3 that is double bonded to the carbon on position 4. There are carbons at positions 5 and 6 and they are double bonded to each other. Lastly, the carbon in position 4 has an N H 2 substituent.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
