Polymeric backbones in silicones and phthalonitriles are fundamental components that define their structural and functional properties. In silicones, the backbone consists of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms (Si-O), which confer flexibility and thermal stability. In contrast, phthalonitriles feature a backbone formed by aromatic rings linked by nitrile groups (–C≡N), providing rigidity and high thermal resistance. These distinct backbones influence the physical properties and applications of each polymer type.
silicon is the name of the element. A silicone is a type of polymeric compound of silicon that contains a silicon-oxygen backbone and alkyl groups (e.g. CH3) attached to the silicon e.g. [Si(CH3)2O]n See wikipedia silicone for examples of the different uses of silicones- and the silicon article for a picture of silicon.
Silicone can be formulated to be electrically insulative or conductive. Silicone is used as a non-conductive insulation material in wire and cable and also as a semi-conductive insulator in co-extruded cables. Save
The element, silicon, freezes (or melts - same thing) at 1414ºC / 2577ºF. This should not be confused with the commercial product "silicone", a polymeric rubber made from silicon. There are many different silicon polymers called silicone, but one popular type used for bakeware melts at about 1000ºF.

Boric acid is polymeric due to its structure, which features boron atoms bridged by hydroxyl groups to form intricate networks of linked units. These repeat units give boric acid its polymeric nature.

A polymer, or a polymeric strand of Glucose monomers: In one chemical-bonding-configuration [in Plants] the polymeric strand of Glucose is called Cellulose; while in the other chemical-bonding-configuration [in Animals] the polymeric strand of Glucose is called Glycogen.
1. "Silicon" in microprocessors is the element silicon doped with some other elements in infinitesimal concentrations.2. "Silicone" for crazy women is a polymeric material containing silicon instead of carbon.Most breast implants today are not filled with silicone oil, but instead are filled with ordinary salt water. Silicone oil has been shown to cause serious health issues (although it is technically nontoxic) if the implant leaks, while salt water does not.Most uses of silicones are industrial equipment and in plastic cookware, because they can tolerate high temperatures at which carbon based oils and plastics would burn.
Some examples of s-block hydrides with covalent polymeric structures are lithium hydride (LiH) and sodium hydride (NaH). These compounds have a three-dimensional network of covalent bonds between the metal cation and the hydride anion, forming a polymeric structure.
Both are polymeric compounds.
