You should have about 3/4 - 1 inch of slack on the chain with you sitting on the bike. And what is it rubbing on?

Rubbing only when turning?

Who fitted your chain? Take it back there immediately.

I wouldn't ride it anywhere! At least check the rear spindle is tightened up first and not completely loose!!!!
