Silicon is second most abundant element occurring in earth crust. It is always found in combined state. Silicon exists in two allotropic forms,amorphous & crystalline. The compounds of silicon are carborundum, silicon, silicate,glass etc. Silicones are organosilicon polymer & silicates are metal derivatives of silicic acid. While carborundum are obtained by heating mixture of sand, carbon & common salt. Which type of linkage is present in silicones ?

Give reasons why: (i) Most zygotes in angiosperms divide only after certain amount of endosperm is formed. (ii) Groundnut seeds are exalbuminous and castor seeds are albuminous. (iii) Micropyle remains as a small pore in the seed coat of a seed. (iv) Integuments of an ovule harden and the water content is highly reduced, as the seed matures.
