Options
- Athe chain length of organ silicone polymers can be controlled by adding Me ₃ SiCl
- BMe ₃ SiCl improves the quality of the silicone polymer
- CMe ₃ SiCl improves the yield of the silicone polymer
- DMe ₃ SiCl acts as a catalyst during polymerisation
Correct answer
A. the chain length of organ silicone polymers can be controlled by adding Me ₃ SiCl
Step-by-step solution
( CH ₃ )₃ SiCl is used during polymerisation of organosilicons because the chain length of organosilicon polymers can be controlled by adding ( CH ₃ )₃ SiCl which blocks the ends of silicon polymer. Hence, the correct option is (1).
