Which of the following substituted silanes can form a cross-linked silicone polymer upon undergoing hydrolysis?

1. R2Si
2. R2SiCl2
3. RSiCl3
4. R3SiCl

Correct answer: RSiCl3

Solution

The correct option is RSiCl3 because it has three reactive chlorine atoms that can undergo hydrolysis to form a cross-linked silicone polymer, which is a characteristic of this type of silane.
