Answer:

Silicones, also known as polysiloxanes, are polymers that include any synthetic compound made up of repeating units of siloxane, which is a chain of alternating silicon atoms and oxygen atoms, combined with carbon, hydrogen, and sometimes other elements.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\bold\red{Silicones}$

• The silicones are organo silicon polymers containing Si-O-Si linkage.

• They are usually prepared by hydrolysis of alkyl chorosilanes.

$\bold\purple{Properties:-}$

• They are chemically inert and are excellent water repellent because of the presence of hydrocarbons layers along the silicon oxygen chain.

• Silicon polymers range from colorless oily liquids to rubbery solids.
