Which of these is not a monomer for a high molecular mass silicone polymer?
Options
- AMeSiCl ₃
- BMe ₂ SiCl ₂
- CMe ₃ SiCl
- DPhSiCl ₃
Correct answer
C. Me ₃ SiCl
Step-by-step solution
Me ₃ SiCl is not a monomer for a high molecular mass silicone polymer because it generates Me ₃ SiOH when subjected to hydrolysis which contains only one reacting site. Hence, the polymerisation reaction stops just after first step.
