To understand what happens when we use Si(CH₃)Cl₃ as a starting material for the preparation of commercial silicon polymer, let's break down the process step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Structure of Si(CH₃)Cl₃ Si(CH₃)Cl₃, also known as trimethylchlorosilane, consists of one silicon (Si) atom bonded to three methyl (CH₃) groups and one chlorine (Cl) atom. This structure is crucial because the silicon atom can form additional bonds. **Hint:** Identify the functional groups in Si(CH₃)Cl₃ and their potential reactivity. ### Step 2: Reaction Mechanism ...

Silicones are synthetic polymers containing repeated R_2 SiO units . Since the empirical formula is that of a ketone (R_2 CO) , the name Silicone has been given to these materials . Silicone can be made into oils , rubbery elastomers and resins . They find a variety of applications because of their chemical inertness , water repelling nature, heat resistance and good electrical insulating property . Commerically silicon polymers are usually synthesised by the hudrolysis of R_2 SiCl_2 [R = Methyl (Me ) or phenyl ( phi)] . If we start with SiMeCl_3 as the starting material silicones formed is :
