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 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?

Saturated fatty acid.


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 element is removed from a fatty acid to make it unsaturated?

Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between the individual carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain; the chain of carbon atoms is fully "saturated" with hydrogen atoms.A fat molecule is monounsaturated if it contains one double bond, and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond; where double bonds are formed, hydrogen atoms are eliminated


What type of bond glycine glucose and Stearn acid form?

Glycine, glucose, and stearic acid can form hydrogen bonds with each other. Hydrogen bonds are weak electrostatic attractions between a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom in one molecule and an electronegative atom in another molecule.


Saturated fatty acids are so named because they are saturated with?

Saturated fatty acids are so named because they are "saturated" with hydrogen atoms—they have no double bonds between carbon atoms in their hydrocarbon chain. This saturated structure allows the fatty acid molecules to pack closely together, usually resulting in a solid form at room temperature.


What kind of intermolecular bonding occurs between carboxylic acids?

Carboxylic acids can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds due to the hydrogen atom attached to the oxygen atom in the -COOH group. These hydrogen bonds form between the partially positive hydrogen atom and the partially negative oxygen atom of a neighboring carboxylic acid molecule, leading to a higher boiling point and stronger intermolecular attractions.


Write the letter of each sentence that is true about hydrogen bonds?

A) Hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent bonds. B) Hydrogen bonds form between a hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom. C) Hydrogen bonds are important in maintaining the structure of proteins and DNA. D) Hydrogen bonds are only found in water molecules. Correct sentences: A) Hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent bonds. B) Hydrogen bonds form between a hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom. C) Hydrogen bonds are important in maintaining the structure of proteins and DNA.


How much hydrogen bonds are in hf?

Hydrogen fluoride (HF) does not have hydrogen bonds. Instead, it forms polar covalent bonds where the hydrogen atom is partially positively charged and the fluorine atom is partially negatively charged.


What can water molecules form hydrogen bonds with?

Water is composed of Two Hydrogen atoms that form a polar covalent bond with an oxygen atom.
