Silicon has a strong tendency to form polymers like silicones. The chain length of silicone polymer can be controlled by adding

1.  MeSiCl3

2.  Me2SiCl2

3.  Me3SiCl

4.  Me4Si


 

Hint: Trimethylsilyl chloride is used to control the chain length of silicone

Silicon has a strong tendency to form polymers can be controlled by adding Me3SiCl which block the ends as shown below
