Answer #1

Solution:

Grignard carbon (which is attached to the magnesium ) that will reacts with the proton of polar solvent thus formed the alkane.

On the other hand diethylether or THF (ethers) do not have acidic proton that will reacts with the grignard reagent. Thus, ethers are non reactive with the grignard reagent, thus grignard reagent is stable in ether solvent
