    On controlled hydrolysis and condensation, \[{{R}_{3}}SiCl\] yields

    A) \[{{R}_{3}}Si-O-Si{{R}_{3}}\]       

    B) \[{{(-{{R}_{3}}Si-O-Si{{R}_{3}}-)}_{n}}\]

    C) \[{{R}_{3}}SiOH\]                            

    D) \[-\underset{\underset{-\underset{\text{ }\!\!|\!\!\text{ }}{\overset{\text{ }\!\!|\!\!\text{ }}{\mathop{\text{Si}}}}\,-\text{O}}{\overset{|}{\mathop{\text{O}}}}\,}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{R} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\text{Si}}}}\,-\text{O}-\underset{\underset{-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{\text{Si}}}}\,-}{\overset{|}{\mathop{\text{O}}}}\,}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{R} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\text{Si}}}}\,-\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[{{R}_{3}}SiCl\] on hydrolysis can only form a dimer. \[{{R}_{3}}SiCl\xrightarrow[{}]{{{H}_{2}}O}{{R}_{3}}SiOH\] \[{{R}_{3}}SiOH+{{R}_{3}}SiOH\xrightarrow[{}]{-{{H}_{2}}O}{{R}_{3}}Si-O-Si{{R}_{3}}\]
