6. What are silicones?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Silicones are synthetic organosilicon polymers containing repeated R2SiO units held by Si-O-Si linkages. These compounds have general formula (R2SiO)n where R=methyl or aryl group.

Silicones are synthetic organosilicon polymers containing repeated R2SiO units held by Si-O-Si linkages. These compounds have general formula (R2SiO)n where R=methyl or aryl group.A silicone or polysiloxane is a polymer made up of siloxane (−R2Si−O−SiR2−, where R = organic group). They are typically colorless oils or rubber-like substances. Silicones are used in sealants, adhesives, lubricants, medicine, cooking utensils, thermal insulation, and electrical insulation.
