How did you mean by saturated hydrocarbons?
Saturated hydrocarbons have only single bonds between carbon atoms.
A saturated hydrocarbon is an organic compound which contains hydrogen and carbon joined?
The bond is covalent; the meaning of saturated is a single bond between carbon atoms (C-C).
What are the two categories of these are saturated and unsaturated?
Fat can be either saturated or unsaturated. It can not be both at the same time. If there is one or more double bonds between carbon atoms, the fat become unsaturated. If all the bonds between carbon atoms are single bonds, the fat becomes saturated.
What are fatty acid chains with all single bonds between carbon and hydrogen?
Fatty acid chains with all single bonds are saturated fatty acids. All of the carbon atoms are saturated with hydrogen atoms.
What are distinguishing characteristics of a saturated fatty acid?
Its carbon atoms have no double bonds between them.
What is a distinguishing characteristics of a saturated fatty acid?
its carbon atoms have no double bonds between them.
What is a distinguishing characteristics of a saturated fatty acids?
its carbon atoms have no double bonds between them.
What is a distinguishing characteristic of saturated fatty acids?
its carbon atoms have no double bonds between them.
What is a distinguishing characteristic of a saturated fatty acid?
Its carbon atoms have no double bonds between them.
What are the chemical difference between unsaturated and saturated fat?
All fats contain chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. In a saturated fat the carbon atoms in the chains are boned to as many hydrogen atoms as possible (that is, 2 each, with the last carbon bonded to 3) and all carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds. In an unsaturated fat some of the carbons are not bonded to the maximum number of hydrogen atoms, and those carbon atoms that are missing hydrogen atoms are double bonded to a neighboring carbon.
What kind of fatty acid has only single bonds?
In saturated fatty acids are there only single bonds in the carbon chain.
What is a distinguished characteristic of a saturated fatty acids?
Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds between carbon atoms and unsaturated.
