Question

$(C{H}_3{)}_{3}SiCl$ is used during polymerization of organosilicons because

• A. The chain length of organosilicon polymers can be controlled by adding $(C{H}_3{)}_{3}SiCl$
• B. $(C{H}_3{)}_{3}SiCl$ improves the quality and yield of the polymer
• C. $(C{H}_3{)}_{3}SiCl$ does not block the end terminal of silicone polymer
• D. $(C{H}_3{)}_{3}SiCl$ acts as a catalyst during polymerisation

Answer 1

The correct option is A The chain length of organosilicon polymers can be controlled by adding $(C{H}_3{)}_{3}SiCl$

$(C{H}_3{)}_{3}SiCl$ is used during polymerization of organosilicons because the chain length of organosilicon polymers can be controlled by adding $(C{H}_3{)}_{3}SiCl$ which blocks the ends of silicon polymer.
