How many of the following is/are the incorrect statement about silicones
1.They are made up of Si44 units
2.They are polymers made up of R2SiO units
3.They are water soluble compounds.
4.They are hydrophilic in nature

Solution

Synthetic organosilicon compounds having repeated R2SiO units held by SiOSi linkages. These compounds have the general formula (R2SiO)n where R = alkyl or aryl group.
Silicones being surrounded by non-polar alkyl groups are water repelling in nature thus hydrobhobic in nature. Hence 1,3and 4 are incorrect options
