Calculate the root mean square end-to-end distance of poly(vinyl chloride) given that the
length of a C-C single bond is 1.54, the carbon-carbon bond angle is 109.5, and the
molecular weight of the polymer is 1milliongmol(assume the polymer is monodisperse),
using the following models:
A. Freely-jointed chain
B. Freely-rotating chain
C. Hindered-rotating chain
The following quantity has been tabulated for poly(vinyl chloride):
[1+(:cos:)1-(:cos:)]=1.8
