The '''Ideal chain model''' is a polymer that is built up of [[ideal gas]] like monomers forming a chain having a fixed bond length. The monomers have zero [[excluded volume]], so they are free to overlap with impunity. Given that, a snapshot of a configuration of an ideal chain having <math>N</math> bonds will look exactly like the the result of <math>N</math> steps of a [[random walk]].

==End-to-end vector==
==End-to-end vector==
The end-to-end vector, <math>\vec{R}</math> is given by the sum of the individual bonds, i.e. <math>\Sigma_{i=1}^N \vec{r_i}</math>. The average of this vector will be zero.
