This document contains 10 questions about polymer chain concepts from a lecture on October 20, 2015. The questions cover definitions of an ideal chain, parameters used to describe polymer coil conformation and size, how end-to-end distance depends on degree of polymerization for an ideal chain, the characteristic ratio, equivalent freely jointed chain, freely rotating chain and its end-to-end distance, hindered rotation model, definition of radius of gyration, relation between radius of gyration and end-to-end distance for an ideal chain, and free energy of an ideal chain.
