Chain lost master link today

I was riding today and when I shifted to the smaller chainring, the master link came off, as I did a little checking, I think I bought the wrong size chain last fall when I replaced the old one that broke on my 1979 Centenan that has been in the garage for more than 20 years. When I look back at the chain a got, the info says the chain was for a ten-speed, well, I had a ten-speed, so that's what I got. Now I believe that meant ten sprockets on the rear cog? So I think I will get me a new chain designed for a five-speed. Does that make since? That chain would be wider then the one I had designed for a 10 speed cassette?
I was having an issue with that chain getting caught in between the large and small chainring and it would make sense because a chain for a ten-speed cog would be thinner than one made for a five-speed, correct?
