An oil with one or more double bonds in the fatty acid?
These are unsaturated fats/lipids
What is the chemical difference between a saturated and an unsaturated fats?
Unsaturated fats have double or triple carbon bonds.
How do you know if a molecule is unsaturated?
double bonds
What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have differ t shape than a satires fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.
Is an aldehyde saturated or unsaturated?
Alkanes have single bonds only and are therefore saturated. A hydrocarbon is unsaturated if there are multiple bonds or rings within the compound. Alkenes contain double bonds, alkynes contain triple bonds, and cycloalkanes contain rings; these are unsaturated hydrocarbons. But alkanes are saturated.
Is mineral oil an unsaturated fat?
No.
What type of bonding does an unsaturated oil contain?
Oil contains unsaturated fats, that it, carbon-carbon double bonds.
What oils contain chemical double bonds?
Unsaturated in chemistry means that there are either carbon-carbon double bonds or triple bonds present in the compound. The oil is usually taken to be a naturally occuring vegetable oil which may be fat, a fatty acid- the term is very broad. In these there are only carbon-carbon double bonds. The oil could also be a mineral oil, - i.e. an alkene or alkyne.
An oil with one or more double bonds in the fatty acid?
These are unsaturated fats/lipids
What are unsaturated fats and saturated fats?
You have one or more double bonds between carbon atoms in unsaturated fat molecules. You have no such double bonds in the structure of saturated fat molecules. You have all the single bonds between the carbon atoms.
Examples of unsaturated fats?
Unsaturated fats are plant fats. They are unsaturated because their carbons do not have the full amount of hydrogens attached and they have double bonds. These fats are thought to be better for your heart health than saturated fats which are fats found in animal products. Examples of unsaturated fats: Olive oil Canola oil sunflower oil Safflower oil Flax seed oil there are may more. Unsaturated fats can be monounsaturated or poly unsaturated.
What is the chemical difference between a saturated and an unsaturated fats?
Unsaturated fats have double or triple carbon bonds.
How do you know if a molecule is unsaturated?
double bonds
What is the difference between a fat an oil?
fat is referred to Animal fat/ saturated fat=no double bonds between carbon chain while oil is referred to plant or fish fat(oil)/ unsaturated fat = it contains double bonds between carbon chain.
What does unsaturated fatty acid look like?
It looks like an oil, somewhat like olive oil does. Adding hydrogen saturates the carbon to carbon bonds making it a solid.
Is sunflower oil covalent or ionic?
Sun flower oil is an unsaturated fat, basically a glycerol head and long chains of carbon hydrogen bonds. So, definitely covalent.
What is the the difference in the composition of saturated fat and unsaturated fat?
The chemical structure of saturated lipids is fully saturated with hydrogen atoms, and does not contain double bonds between carbon atoms where as the chemical structure of an unsaturated lipid contains double bonds.
