221. Which of the following statement is correct regarding chemical setting of condensation silicone?

a)   Polymerization occurs with repeated elimination of small molecules
b)   Polymerization occurs with elimination of  single byproduct
c)   It occurs by repeated condensation of molecules of monomers
d)   Condensation does not occur at all   ( AIPG 2010  ) (Repeat: AIPG 2007)    \
Option A
 The primary compounds react, often with the formation of by-products such as water, alcohols, halogen acids and ammonia. The formation of these products is the reason step-growthQ  polymerization is often called condensation polymerization.”         
(Ref: Phillips’ Science of  Dental Materials; 11th edition: Page 154)
Ethyl alcohol is a by-productQ of the condensation setting reaction. Subsequent evaporation probably accounts for much of the contraction that takes place in a set silicone rubber
