why diethyl ether does not react with sodium?

Answers

Answered by adi228ch

Sodium ions react with other ionic species via electrostatic interactions. Diethyl ether does not contain any ionic functional groups, nor does it have acidic protons. Thus, diethyl ether is inert and is unreactive and therefore does not react with sodium.
