Silicones are water repelling in nature.

Assertion (A) : Silicons are water repelling in nature. Reason (R ) : Silicons are organosilicon polymers, which have (-R_(2)SiO-) as repeating unit.

Silicones are sunthetic polyners conitainging repeated R_2 SiO units . Since the empirical formula is that of a ketone (R_2 CO) , the name Silicone has eeen given to these materils . Siliconse can be makde intio oils , rubbery eleastomers and resins . They find a varely of appoications because of their chemical inctness , water repelling nature m heat resistance and good electical insulationg property . Commerical silicon polumers are usuallly metghly synthesised by the hudroluysis of R_2 SiCl_2 [R = Methyl (Me ) or phenyl ( phi)] . If we strt with SiMeCl_3 as the starting material silicones formed is :

If we mix SiMe_3Cl with SiMe_2Cl_2 , we get silicones of the type .
