Question: For a linear polymer molecule, the total chain length L depends on the bond length between chain atoms d = 0 . 1 5 4

For a linear polymer molecule, the total chain length L depends on the bond length between chain atoms d=0.154nm, the total number of bonds in the molecule N, and the angle between adjacent backbone chain atoms 109, as follows: L=Ndsin(2)
Furthermore, the average end-to-end distance for a series of polymer molecules r is equal to: r=d?2N
For a linear polytetrafluoroethylene determine (PTFE) with Atomic weights for Carbon =12.01grmol and F, Fluorine, A=19grmol :
(a) the number-average molecular weight for a linear polytetrafluoroethylene of total length L=1000 nm
(b) the number-average molecular weight heavily twisted and kinked polymer with average endto-end distance r=15.5nm/
 For a linear polymer molecule, the total chain length L depends
