The main difference is not the chain since morning stars as you often know them from medieval movies do feature chains. The main difference is that the flail is basically flat (the original idea of a flail was to eg crush wheat, so it was once a tool) where the morning star does feature spikes attached to the front and was explicitly meant as weapon right from the start.
