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

A

A and R both are correct R is the correct explanation of A

B

Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A

C

A and R both are correct

D

A is not correct but R is correct

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Silicones are a groups of organo silicon polymers which have `(R_(2)SiO)` as a repeating unit. This suggests that silicones are surrounded by non-polar alkyl groups that are water repelling in nature. They have wide applications. It is used for water proofing of fabrics.
