Question

Which of these is not a monomer for a high molecular mass silicone polymer ? (A)  PbSiCl3  (B) MeSiCl3  (C)  Me2SiCl2  (D)  Me3SiCl

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Silicones are organo-silicon polymer containing linkage. Since Me3SiCl contain only one Cl therefore it can't form high molecular mass silicon polymer It act a chain terminating organo silane

$P b S i C l_{3}$

$M e S i C l_{3}$

$M e_{2} S i C l_{2}$

$M e_{3} S i Cl$
