The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the silicon compound with the formula `R3Si-(OSiR2)n-SiR3` having 4 Si-O-Si linkages, we need to identify the units that contribute to this structure. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Structure The given structure is `R3Si-(OSiR2)n-SiR3`. This indicates that we have silicon (Si) atoms connected through oxygen (O) atoms, with organic groups (R) attached to the silicon. ### Step 2: Count the Silicon Atoms In the structure, we need to identify how many silicon (Si) atoms are present. The structure indicates: - One Si atom at the beginning (R3Si) - One Si atom at the end (SiR3) - The repeating unit `OSiR2` contributes to additional Si atoms. ### Step 3: Identify the Linkages We are specifically looking for 4 Si-O-Si linkages. Each Si-O-Si linkage corresponds to a connection between two silicon atoms through an oxygen atom. ### Step 4: Determine the Units To achieve 4 Si-O-Si linkages, we need to analyze how many units of `OSiR2` are required. Each unit contributes one Si atom and one O atom. - The terminal SiR3 contributes 1 Si. - The initial SiR3 contributes another Si. - The repeating units of `OSiR2` must provide the remaining Si atoms. ### Step 5: Calculate the Required Units To have a total of 5 Si atoms (2 from the terminal groups and 3 from the repeating units), we can set up the following: - 2 terminal Si atoms (1 from R3Si and 1 from SiR3) - 3 Si atoms from 3 units of `OSiR2` Thus, we can conclude that we need: - 2 units of R3SiCl (for the terminal Si groups) - 3 units of R2SiCl2 (for the repeating units) ### Final Answer The unit taken to achieve the structure with 4 Si-O-Si linkages is: - **2 units of R3SiCl** - **3 units of R2SiCl2**
