Polydimethylsiloxane general chemical formula is (C2H6OSi)n ; the molecule contain C, H, O and Si.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a polymer composed of repeating units of siloxane (Si-O) with methyl groups (CH₃) attached to the silicon atoms. The Lewis dot structure for PDMS would represent silicon (Si) atoms connected to oxygen (O) atoms, with each silicon having two methyl groups attached. In a simplified form, you can visualize a chain of alternating Si and O atoms, with each Si atom surrounded by the appropriate number of dots to represent its valence electrons and each methyl group represented as CH₃. However, due to its large size and complexity, PDMS is often better represented in structural or molecular models rather than a simple Lewis dot diagram.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is the most widely used silicon-based organic polymer, and is particularly known for its unusual flow properties. Itis used to make contact lenses, medical devices, in elastomers, in shampoos. Dimethicone makes the hair shiny and slippery, caulking, lubricating oils and heat resistant tiles.
Silicone grease is a waterproof grease made by combining a silicone oil with a thickener. Most commonly, the silicone oil is polydimethylsiloxane and the thickener is amorphous fumed silica. Using this formulation, silicone grease is a translucent white viscous paste, with exact properties dependent on the type and proportion of the components.
Rain-X is primarily made of a silicone-based compound called polydimethylsiloxane, along with other ingredients like isopropyl alcohol and mineral spirits. These ingredients work together to create a hydrophobic coating on glass surfaces that repels water, improving visibility during rainy conditions.
No, silly putty can be made using a variety of different ingredients, including polydimethylsiloxane which is the main component in commercial silly putty. Borax and starch are common additives that can be used to create similar stretchy and bouncy characteristics in DIY silly putty recipes.
No. It is quite difficult for elements to change into new elements.
There are a total of 118 elements known to exist on the periodic table.
The current periodic table contains 118 elements, as of April 2010, but many more may still be discovered.
