Fats that have a lot of oleic acid in them, such as unsaturated fats, are liquid at room temperature. They are known to us as oils.

What is a characteristic of a unsaturated fats?

They show the following characteristics:they have a high melting point and boiling point.they have only single bonds between their carbon atoms.they have long fatty acid chains.they are usually solids at room temperature.Unsaturated fats remain liquids or oils at room temperature but in cooler temperatures begin to solidify. Hydrogenation of fats (saturating) can cause them to become solids at room temperature.

An unsaturated lipid will be what at room temp?

Room temperature is usually defined as either 20 or 25 degrees Celcius, 293 or 298 Kelvin.Room temperature is the same for any compound... unsaturated fatty acids' room temp is the same for any other compound. The state of matter at room temperature for unsaturated fatty acids is liquid, which is what I think you wanted to know. A good example of unsat. fat is vegetable oil. It is a liquid at room temperature because the unsaturation, or double bonds found throughout each molecule's "tail" structure, cause kinks in the tail that prevent the molecules from lining up tightly against each other. In saturated fats, the tails are relatively straight lines, and can therefore pack closer together, forming a solid at room temperature (a good example of this is beef fat).


A statement proved that the vegetable fats are more unsaturated than animal fats?

In general, yes. Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and saturated fats are solid at room temperature.


Can fats be oil at room temperature?

No, you have misunderstoof the definitions. An oil is a lipid that is liquid at room temperature and a fat is a lipid that is solid at room temperature, therefore by definition a fat cannot be an oil at room temperature.
