Preferred Label : freely jointed chain;
Detailed label : freely jointed chain in polymers;
IUPAC definition : A hypothetical linear chain molecule consisting of infinitely thin rectilinear segments
uniform in length; each segment can take all orientations in space with equal probability,
independently of its neighbours. For models in which the segments are not all uniform
in length, the name 'random-walk chain' has been used.;
