Question

show the steps by which you can prepare silicone
​

Answer 1

Silicones are prepared by the hydrolysis of alkyl or aryl substituted silicon halides. Alkyl or aryl substituted silicon halides are prepared by passing gaseous alkyl or aryl halide over an alloy of copper and silicon at 300°C. The hydrolysis of dimethyldichlorosilane gives dimethyl silanol.
