Question

the starting materials for the formation of silicones polymers are​

Answer 1

Answer:

The most common starting material for the formation of the methyl silicone polymers is dichlorodimethylsilane, (CH3)2SiCl2. This compound is, in turn, made in huge industrial quantities by the action of CH3Cl on silicon powder in the presence of a copper catalyst at 250- 300 °C (the Rochow Process).
