The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the type of silicone represented by `[P]` and the compound `[Q]` from which it is prepared. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structure of `[P]`:** The structure given for `[P]` is a linear silicone chain, which consists of repeating units of siloxane (Si-O) bonds with organic groups (R) attached to the silicon atoms. The general formula for linear silicones can be represented as: \[ -O-Si(R)-O-Si(R)-O-Si(R)- \ldots \] This indicates that `[P]` is a linear silicone. **Hint:** Look for repeating units in the structure to identify the type of silicone. 2. **Determine the Preparation Method:** The problem states that `[P]` is prepared by the hydrolysis of `[Q]`. In silicone chemistry, linear silicones are typically produced through the hydrolysis of silanes. 3. **Identify the Compound `[Q]`:** The common precursor for linear silicones is a dichlorosilane, which can be represented as: \[ R_2SiCl_2 \] where R represents organic groups (like alkyl or aryl groups). When this compound undergoes hydrolysis, the chlorine atoms are replaced by hydroxyl groups, leading to the formation of the siloxane chain. **Hint:** Recall that dichlorosilanes are often used to produce silicones through hydrolysis. 4. **Conclusion:** Therefore, we can conclude that: - `[P]` is a linear silicone. - `[Q]` is the compound \( R_2SiCl_2 \). ### Final Answer: - `[P]` is a linear silicone. - `[Q]` is \( R_2SiCl_2 \).
