Question

Mention the general and empirical formula of silicones.

Answer 1

Answer:

The silicones differ from most industrial polymers in that the chains of linked atoms that make up the backbones of their molecules do not contain carbon, the characteristic element of organic compounds.

A general formula for silicones is (R2SiO)x, where R can be any one of a variety of organic groups.
