Answer:
I was reading about polymerisation of ethene, the website said that the chains range from about 2,000 to 20,000 carbon atoms in length. This figure is obtained experimentally so I was wondering if it is possible to theoretically calculate how many times the free radical will collide with the ethene molecule before it collides with another free radical. Knowing this should be enough to calculate average chain length (I think?). I imagine it is quite hard and requires some fancy use of mathematics involving the rough shape of the molecules and brownian motion but if someone could help, or point me in the right direction, it'd be much appreciated.
