This is an excellent question that required a bit of research, although ultimately, I'm not sure how answerable it is. So going by Wikipedia on the definition of chaconne, what is the motif used in all of those chaconnes? Granted, there are chaconnes which do not use the mentioned motif.
I hear that it is a motif like the La Folia (with arbitrary form?).Wikipedia tells me that it's a form, like the passacaglia, with an arbitrary motif.Indeed, La Folia is used mostly in the form of theme and variations, but not only (Händel's Sarabande HWV 437). If I were guess, I'd say that a chaconne is a motif, like the La Folia, where it is used in compositions of any form. I believe that not all of these are even in the chaconne form, but I'm not sure about that. Kapsberger, Antonio Bertali, Alessandro Piccinini and more. Some examples are the ones by Benedetto Ferrari, Francesca Caccini, J.H. However, listening to chaconnes from the 17th century, they use the same motif. The motif is arbitrary - there is no single one used in all passacaglias or chaconnes.
Wikipedia says that a chaconne is a musical composition involving variations on a harmonic progression or melody (motif), similar to the passacaglia.
