Vedclass · Answer

(D) Lassaigne's test is used to detect nitrogen,sulfur,and halogens in organic compounds. It involves the fusion of the organic compound with sodium metal,which converts the elements present into their corresponding sodium salts. For nitrogen,it forms sodium cyanide $(NaCN)$. Since $NaCN$ requires both carbon and nitrogen,the organic compound must contain both elements. Hydrazine $(NH_2-NH_2)$ contains nitrogen but lacks carbon,therefore it cannot form $NaCN$ and does not give a positive Lassaigne's test.

List-$I$ (Test/Reagents/Observation)	List-$II$ (Species detected)
$(a)$ Lassaigne's Test	$(i)$ Carbon
$(b)$ $Cu(II)$ oxide	$(ii)$ Sulphur
$(c)$ Silver nitrate	$(iii)$ $N, S, P,$ and halogen
$(d)$ The sodium fusion extract gives black precipitate with acetic acid and lead acetate	$(iv)$ Halogen specifically
