Silicon has a strong tendency to form polymers like silicones. The chain length of silicone polymer can be controlled by adding

A

`MeSiCI_(3)`

B

`me_(2)SiCI_(2)`

C

`Me_(4)SiCI`

D

`Me_(4)Si`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The chain length of silicon polymer can be controlled by adding `(CH_(3))_(3) SiCI`, which blocks the ends as shown below:
`(Ch_(3))_(3) SiCI underset(-HCI)overset(H_(2)O)(to) (CH_(3))_(3) SiOH`
