Initial impression of RX3 for a trail bike rider

Vickytulla, there are many other videos that show how to check for chain wear, many are not good ways but will give you some understanding.

I chose that video because I felt it showed very clearly the wear or looseness in a piece of chain.

The chain is one of the most simple things to check on a bike and also one of the most important, along with engine oil, tire pressure, and spoke condition.

The best quality, most expensive chain still needs the same attention that a cheap chain does, cleaning+inspection+lubrication+adjustment. The quality one just lasts longer.

As others have said, chain and sprockets should be replaced as a set. I hope this helps.
