1.	Assertion (A) : Silicones are water repelling in nature. Reason (R) : Silicones are organosilicon polymers, which have (--R_2 SiO--)as repeating unit.
Answer» Both Assertionand Reasonare correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion. Both Assertion and Reason are not correct Assertion is not correct but Reason is correct Solution :Silicones are the group of SILICON polymers, which have `R_2 SiO` as a REPEATING unit. Silicones being surrounded by non-polar alkyl GROUPS are water repelling in nature so Assertionand Reason both are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
