What is the difference between a saturaded and unsaturaded fatty acid?

The difference between a saturated and unsaturated fatty acid are the number of hydrogen atoms and double carbon bonds in the fatty acid chain. A saturated fatty acid has no carbon double bonds, two hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom along the chain and three for the carbon atom at each end. In an unsaturated fatty acid chain some of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by a double bond between neighboring carbon atoms. Mon-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids differ in the number of double carbon bonds in the chain, and thus the total number of hydrogen atoms.


A fatty acid which has all possible hydrogen atoms bonding to each carbon atom would be?

Difference between a saturated fatty acid and an unsaturated fatty acid?

Fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. A saturated fatty acid contains the maximum amount of hydrogen atoms. Saturated fatty acids are long-chain carboxylic acids that generally have between 12 and 24 carbon atoms and have no double bonds. They are saturated with hydrogen because saturated fatty acids have only single bonds, each carbon atom within the chain has 2 hydrogen atoms. Unsaturated fatty acids do not contain the maximum amount of hydrogen atoms, therefore two or more carbon atoms are attached with a double bond. Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds between carbon atoms.


What is the kind of lipid that each carbon atom in a lipids fatty acid chain joined to another carbon atom by a single bond?

a saturated fatty acid


How many double bonds do saturated fatty acids have?

There may be one double bond or many, up to six in important fatty acids.


What type of acid is nitric acid?

The answer to that is monoprotic for there is only one hydrogen atom.


Each molecule of hydrochloric acid contains one atom of hydrogen and what?

I think that there is one atom of hydrogen and one of chlorine.


How many ionisable hydrogen atoms are there in acetic acid?

There is one ionizable hydrogen atom in acetic acid. This hydrogen atom is located on the carboxyl group (COOH) of the molecule and can dissociate to form a hydrogen ion (H+) in solution.


Is hydrochloric acid polyatomic?

Hydrochloric acid has the chemical formula HCl: 1 atom of hydrogen and 1 atom of chlorine.


What kind of bond keeps hydrogen bonded to another atom in a acid?

In every acid, the hydrogen atom is bonded to the rest of the molecule (occasionally ion) through a covalent bond.


Hydrochloric acid contains one atom of hydrogen and what else?

One atom of chlorine.
