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 is meant by unsaturated hydrocarbon?
a hydrocarbon that has double bond or triple bond between two carbons
Why are the shapes of the lipid molecules different between saturated and unsaturated fats?
Because the unsaturated fats contains double bonds between some of the carbons, saturated fats only contain single bonds between all of the carbons. The double bonding gives the molecules a different goemetry.
What family is formaldehyde in?
Formaldehyde, H2C=O, is the basic member of organic compounds known as aldehydes. Aldehydes are hydrocarbons (chains of carbons with hydrogen attached) with an oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbon.
What are the structural isomers for c10h22?
- Cyclobutane: four carbons single-bonded in a square pattern, each with two hydrogens. H2C----CH2 | | H2C----CH2 - 1-butene: four carbons in a chain with a double bond between the first and second carbons: H2C==CH--CH2--CH3 - 2-butene: four carbons in a chain with a double bond between the second and third carbons: H3C--CH==CH--CH3
Is it true that Saturated fats are composed of fatty acids with several double bonded carbons?
no
What are the functional groups of thalidomide?
One Arene and two Imides The arene is the alternating double bonded carbon ring on the left, while the Imides are each a nitrogen with two carbons and another bond, where the carbons each have double bonded oxygens.
What molecule is propene?
Propene is a linear hydrocarbon containing 3 carbons and 6 hydrogens. Two of the carbons are double bonded. Starting at the double-bonded end, you have two hydrogen atoms bonded to the end carbon, then a single carbon double bonded to the first carbon and with a single hydrogen bonded to it, then the third carbon is singly bonded to the second with 3 hydrogen atoms bonded to it.Propene is also known as propylene or methyl ethylene.
What is the difference between cis- and trans-fatty acids?
Just the difference between cis and trans isomers. The arrangement of functional groups around double bonded carbons. Same groups lined up on the same side are cis fatties and alternate groups lined up on the different sides are trans fatty acids.
What is the molecular shape of C2H4?
Think of this as H2C3H2 or HC3H3 As carbon is tetravalent and hydrogen is monovalent there must be either two hydrogens bonded to a carbon that is double bonded to another that is double bonded to the third which has the remaining hydrogens double bonded. Otherwise this must be a hydrogen bonded to a carbon that is triple bonded to another carbon which is single bonded to the third carbon which is bound to three hydrogens.
What Has at least 1 double bond between carbons?
alkane
What is the basic shape of an alkene?
ethene (also called ethylene). It is kind of "H" shaped. It has 2 carbons, double bonded, and four hydrogen singly bonded to those. 2 per carbon.
What is the purpose of hydrogenating fats?
To solidify them by adding hydrogens which straighten out the double bonded carbons from their kinking so that the pack well and solidly. ( butter, for instance )

What is the structural formula for trans-2-heptene?
CH3-CH=CH-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3 if hydrogen of doble bonded carbons are at the same side of plane of double bond then it is cis isomer....
What is the main difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids?
Saturated fats contain only single bonds between carbons, whereas unsaturated fats contain at least one double bond.
What does adding hydrogen to liquid unsaturated fats do?
To solidify them by adding hydrogens which straighten out the double bonded carbons from their kinking so that the pack well and solidly. ( butter, for instance )
