Si(CH_(3))_(2)Cl_(2) is hydrolysed. What type of polymer is formed ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Hydrolysis of `Si(CH_(3)) _(2)Cl_(2)` is given as
`Si(CH_(3))_(2)Cl_(2)overset(H_(2)O,OH^(-))rarrSi(CH_(3))_(2)(OH)_(2)`
The hydrolysis product UNDERGOES condensation HOMOPOLYMERISATION. The product is an example of inorganic POLYMER, called polysiloxane.
`nHO-overset(CH_(3))overset("|")underset(CH_(3))underset("|")"Si"-OH+HO-overset(CH_(3))overset("|")underset(CH_(3))underset("|")"Si"-OH underset(-nH_(2)O)rarr HO[--overset(CH_(3))overset("|")underset(CH_(3))underset("|")"Si"-O--]-overset(CH_(3))overset("|")underset(CH_(3))underset("|")"Si"-OH`
