Chemistry Question on classification of polymers
The straight chain polymer is formed by
A
hydrolysis of (CH3)3SiCl followed by condensation polymerisation
B
hydrolysis of CH3SiCl3 followed by condensation polymerisation
C
hydrolysis of (CH3)4Si by addition polymerisation
D
hydrolysis of (CH3)2SiCl2 followed by condensation polymerisation
Answer
hydrolysis of (CH3)2SiCl2 followed by condensation polymerisation
Explanation
Solution
Straight chain silanes are silicon oils. These are more stable at high temperature than mineral oils and have less tendency to thicken at low temperature.
