SiO_(4)^(4-) ion has geometry

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 :
