Question

Give the sequence of reaction which represent formation of silicone and point out how will you stop polymerization during formation of silicones​

Answer 1

Answer:

Put alkyl groups to stop the reaction

Explanation:

I have put image from my notes refer them sequentially. Hydrolyzing silicon halides substitutes them with OH groups which on condensation or dehydration here join to form silicones. More OH means more joining silicates. So at any point reaction polymer with equivalent moles of alkyl substituted silicone stops further polymerisation
