The straight chain polymer (silicone) is formed by:

  1. A
    hydrolysis of followed by condensation polymerisation
  2. B
    hydrolysis of by addition polymerisation
  3. C
    hydrolysis of followed by condensation polymerisation
  4. D
    hydrolysis of followed by condensation polymerisation

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

- Hydrolysis of dichlorosilanes yields linear (straight chain) silicones.Trichlorosilanes yield cross-linked polymers.Monochlorosilanes act as chain terminators.
