Which of these is not a monomer for high molecular mass silicone polymer?

  • MeSiCl3

  • Me2SiCl2

  • Me3SiCl

  • PhSiCl3

Answer

C.

Me3SiCl

Me3SiCl is not a monomer for a high molecular mass silicone polymer because it generates Me3SiOH when subjected to hydrolysis which contains only one reacting site. Hence, the polymerization reaction stops just after first step.
