What type of triglyceride contains more than one double bond in fatty acid carbon atoms?
polyunsaturated
Is 3-heptene an alkane alkene or an alcohol?
The name of 3-heptene gives it away, for alkenes end in -ene. Heptene is a carbon chain of 7 carbons, and alkenes have a double bond between carbons at the noted carbon (3), so this double bond is between C3 and C4, and the chain is otherwise completely hydrogenated. You might write the structure as: CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CH2CH3
When a fat molecules carbon chain is bonded to hydrogen atoms is it saturated polyunsaturated dehydrogenated or polymerized?
providing that thee are no double bonds (which i think you are trying to say) it is saturated. unsaturated means that there is at least 1 double bond polyunsaturated means that there are at least 2 double bonds dehydrogenated means that is is either unsaturated or polyunsaturated since hydrogen was removed forcing double bonds to form polymerized means that 2 unsaturated carbon chains bonded to each other in order to get rid of the strained double or triple bond ( this can only happen to unsaturated compounds) you can determine weather or not it is unsaturated by determining if the number of hydrogen atoms is less than (number carbon)2 + 2 , if it is less than it is unsaturated.
Do alkenes have double bonds between hydrogen atoms?
An alkene such as propene has 1 double bond. An alkene can also have many single bonds. In Dodecene for example there are 12 carbons. Two of the carbons are linked by a double bond and all the others by single bonds. In addition, the carbon-hydrogen bonds are all single bonds too.
What are the differences between saturated unsaturated mono saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Fats are a type of triglyceride. This is aglycerol ( H-CHOH-CHOH-CHOH-H ) molecule reacted with three fatty acids. ( R-COOH ) where R is a long chain carbon molecule. In this chain there can be single carbon carbon bonds or double carbon carbon bonds. A saturated fat is one where all bonds are single. A monounsaturated fat contains a single carbon carbon double bond. A polyunsaturated fat has more than one. If R is H-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CO-O-G it is a saturated fat. If it is H-CH2-CH2-CH=CH-CO-O-G it is monounsaturated. If it is H-CH=CH-CH=CH-CO-O-G then it has two and therefore polyunsaturated. The G stands for glycerol (Sometimes glycerine) .
What are carbons that have carbon-carbon double bonds called?
alkenes
A fatty acid that contains three double covalent bonds in its carbon chain is said to be?
polyunsaturated
Suggest a reason that linoleic acid is classified as a polyunsaturated fatty acid and oleic acid is classified as a monounsaturated fatty acid?
Linoleic acid is a polyunsaturated fat because its chain of carbons has 3 double bonds. Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fat because its chain of carbons has one double bond.
An omega-3 fatty acid has its first double bond on the?
The first double bond is between the third and fourth carbons from the methyl (CH3) end of the fatty acid molecule.
A fat with no carbon-carbon double bonds that is usually solid at room temperature is said to be a?
Saturated fat. Double bonds = unsaturated One double carbon-carbon bond would be monounsaturated. Many double carbon-carbon bonds would be polyunsaturated.
Which is longer carbon-carbon single or double bond?
double bonds are shorter because they are stronger so they pull the carbons closer together
Is polyunsaturated a form of fat?
Polyunsaturated fat, or polyunsaturated fatty acid, are fatty acids in which more than one double bond exists within the representative molecule. From a chemical standpoint, polyunsaturated fats are simply fats that have more than one double-bonded carbon in the molecule. Polyunsaturated fats are typically liquid at room temperature and when chilled.
Saturated fats have?
No carbon-carbon (C=C) double bonds. All carbons are joined to four other atoms: either carbon or hydrogen.
What type of triglyceride contains more than one double bond in fatty acid carbon atoms?
polyunsaturated
Does fat have each of its carbon atoms joined to another carbon atom by a single bond?
In a saturated fat, yes. Monounsaturated fat has a double bond. Polyunsaturated fats have multiple double bonds.
Distinguish between a saturated and an unsaturated fat and list some unique emergent properties that are a consequence of these structural differences?
A fat is saturated when all of the carbon atoms in the fatty acid chains are bonded to at least two hydrogens. A fat is unsaturated when there is at least one double bond between carbons in the fatty acid chains, and it is polyunsaturated when there are multiple double bonds. The hydrocarbon chains of polyunsaturated fats bend at the places where there are double bonds and this causes them to have low melting points - the fat molecules do not align close together.
Is 2-butene an alkene?
2-butene is an alkene because it contains a double bond at second carbon(second and third carbons are unsaturated carbons).CH3-CH2=CH2-CH3
