Which of these is not a monomer for a high molecular mass silicone polymer?
A
$PhSiCl_3$
B
$MeSiCl_3$
C
$Me_2SiCl_2$
D
$Me_3SiCl$
Detailed Solution
Silicones are organosilicon polymers containing $-(R_2Si-O-SiR_2)-$ linkages.
$Me_3SiCl$ has only one Cl, so it cannot form a high molecular mass silicone polymer; it acts as a chain-terminating organosilane.
$Me_3SiCl$ has only one Cl, so it cannot form a high molecular mass silicone polymer; it acts as a chain-terminating organosilane.
