Question: For a linear polymer molecule, the total chain length L depends on the bond length between chain atoms d, the total number of bonds in

For a linear polymer molecule, the total chain length L depends on the bond length between chain atoms d, the total number of bonds in the molecule N, and the angle between adjacent backbone chain atoms ?, as follows.

L= Nd sin (14.11)

Furthermore, the average end-to-end distance for a series of polymer molecules r in Figure is equal to
