Question

The straight chain polymer is formed by
A. hydrolysis of `(CH_(3))_(3) SiCl` followed by condensation polymerisation
B. hydrolysis of `(CH_(3))_(4)` Si by addition polymerisation
C. hydrolysis of `(CH_(3))_(4) SiCl_(2)` by addition polymerisation
D. hydrolysis of `(CH_(3))_(2) SiCl_(2)` following by condensation polymerisation.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - D

Straight chain states are silicon oils. These are more stable at high temperature then mineral oils and have less tendency to thicken at low temperature.
