Figaro Chain: A Figaro chain is a modified version of the curb chain, where the interlocking flat links vary in size. It usually forms a pattern with trios of smaller links alternating with a longer link. The name Figaro comes from its Italian origin.
It turns out that hydrocarbon molecules of different lengths have different properties and behaviors. For example, a chain with just one carbon atom in it (CH 4) is the lightest chain, known as methane. Methane is a gas so light that it floats like helium. As the chains get longer, they get heavier.
