Question

Me2SiCl2$\overset{\quad H_{2}O\quad}{\rightarrow}$ (1)$\overset{\quad condensation\quad}{\rightarrow}$ (2).

The nature of product (2) may be

• A. Only linear polymers
• B. Cyclic products
• C. (1) and (2) both
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Only linear polymers

Answer 2

$\overset{\quad H_{2}O\quad}{\rightarrow}$$\begin{matrix} H + OH \end{matrix}$ $\longrightarrow$

In this manner several molecules may combine to form a long chain polymer i.e. linear polymer.
