The phrase "a chain of alternating" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a sequence or series where elements alternate in a specific pattern or arrangement.
Example: "The design features a chain of alternating colors, creating a visually striking effect."
Alternatives: "a sequence of alternating" or "a series of alternating".
Similarly, isolated double bonds contribute no colour to a hydrocarbon, but, in a molecule containing a chain of alternating single and double bonds, intense coloration results from conjugation.
The polymer gel is made up of a chain of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms, which makes the substance highly stable and resistant to decomposition by heat or water.
The LIG_MAPK_1, or D-site, pattern has two functional regions: a string with two or three basic residues and a chain of alternating hydrophobic residues [12].
HS is a complex biopolymer, initially created as a chain of alternating D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc).
Where bond valences can be determined, they are able to reveal details of the reaction mechanisms of enzymes, since it becomes possible to see how the close approach of a cation to a potential ligand in one part of the protein can result in a chain of alternating strengthened and weakened bonds which results in the weakening of the bond that is about to be cleaved.
The PAA28- co-PAPEO22 copolymer consists of a chain of alternating negatively charged acrylic acid groups and short PEO grafts with a length of eight to nine PEO groups.
Absorption and distribution are represented as diffusion in a catenary chain of alternating aqueous phases and membranes, with rapid equilibration within the bulks of the compartments.
In complexes 2 and 3, both the dicarboxylate and 3-pytpy as bridging ligands connect metal atoms into 2D polymeric structure for 2 and 1D chain of alternating loops and rods for 3.
In male meiosis these 10 chromosomes form a multivalent chain consisting of alternating X and Y chromosomes [ 7].
Phz-H2ca contains chains of alternating Phz and H2ca molecules connected through O H⋯N intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
As noted above, the structure consists of chains of alternating hydrogen-bonded cations and anions; i.e. the ions are co-planar in the plane of the carbonate ion and it is this co-planarity that is unusual.
