Question

Which is incorrect statement about silicons?

• A. They are repeating units $\left(Si{O}_4\right)$ in silicates
• B. They are synthetic polymers containing repeated $R_{2}SiO$ units
• C. They are formed by hydrolysis of $R_{2}SiC{l}_2$
• D. All the above are incorrect statements

Answer 1

The correct option is A They are repeating units $\left(Si{O}_4\right)$ in silicates

Organic polymers containing silicon in them are called as silicones. These are organosilicon polymers containing $R_{2}SiO$ repeating units and empirical formula analogous to ketone $\left(R_{2}CO\right)$. They are formed by hydrolysis of $R_{2}SiC{l}_2$.
