What is the key difference between ether and ester in terms of their chemical structures and properties?

The key difference between ether and ester lies in their chemical structures. Ethers have an oxygen atom bonded to two alkyl or aryl groups, while esters have an oxygen atom bonded to an alkyl group and a carbonyl group. Ethers are typically less reactive than esters and have lower boiling points. Ethers are commonly used as solvents, while esters are often found in fragrances and flavorings.


Is argon the least reactive gas?

Argon is considered a noble gas and is known for its very low reactivity. It is colorless, odorless, and non-toxic, making it one of the least reactive gases.


Which is the most reactive titanium aluminum or platinum?

Titanium is the most reactive of the three metals you mentioned (titanium, aluminum, platinum). It readily forms compounds with oxygen in the air. Aluminum is also reactive, but it forms a protective oxide layer that prevents further reaction. Platinum is the least reactive of the three and is known for its resistance to corrosion.


Does group 7A of the periodic tables contain the least reactive nonmetals?

No, Group 8A (Noble Gases) are the least reactive nonmetals because they have a full outer shell of electrons and do not readily form chemical bonds. Group 7A (Halogens) are more reactive in comparison.


What is the order of these metals starting with most reactive sodium gold and copper?

The order of reactivity from most to least is sodium, copper, gold. Sodium is highly reactive due to its low ionization energy, copper is less reactive as it forms a protective oxide layer, and gold is the least reactive among these metals.
