Preferred Label : chain length;
Detailed label : chain length, δ;
IUPAC definition : In a chain reaction, the average number of times the closed cycle of reactions (involving
the chain-propagating reactions) is repeated. It is equal to the rate of the overall
reaction divided by the rate of the initiation reaction.;
