Answer: B-- the length of the chain and degree of cross-linking.
Explanation: Silicones can be oils or rubber-like materials depending on ___the length of the chain and degree of cross-linking.____
Silicone rubber is an elastomer which is composed of silicone containing silicon together with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. silicone rubber can be found in a wide variety of products because of its ability to withstand very high temperatures and pressures. eg cooking and food storage products; clothing apparels , automotive devices etc while
Silicone oil is a linear chain siloxane repeating units Si--0 with radical side group as such as methyl, phenyl etc bonded to it. They are oils because of they are viscose and have ability to repel. Silicone oils are mostly employed in medicine for surgical tools.
Positive applications for allelotoxin is that it prevents plants from enduring any type of competition with other species.
<h3>What is Allelopathy?</h3>
This is the process in which a plant inhibits the growth of another through a secretion of a chemical which is referred to as allelotoxin.
This technique however reduces biodiversity which isn't ideal so as to prevent organisms from going extinct and also reduces adaptation or evolution due to the reduced or non growth of the plant species which are affected.
A common example is the sorghum plant preventing of the growth of weeds thereby resulting in the most appropriate choices for the positive applications of allelotoxin.

Elements in group 1-2, 13-18, the number of valence electrons is related to the group number. For example, in the first group, the alkali metals there is one valence electron, however in group 13, there are 3 valence electrons. Valence electrons are also known as the outershell electrons.
