Whales are mammals, sharks are fish. Therefore, whales are air-breathing creatures while sharks breathe via gills. Whales give birth to live young; many sharks also give birth to live young, but some species lay eggs. Sharks have very tiny scales (unlike other fish which have scales big enough to easily see, while whales have skin. Many species of shark tend to be predatory, although there are always exceptions, such as the harmless whale shark. Similarly, while many species of whale do not hunt other sea creatures, the orca, or killer whale, is an exception to this.
