These are compound out of many Carbon and Hydrogen atom,

In a single bonded and non cyclic carbon chain with as much as possible (= 'saturated with') single bonded H atoms to the C atoms.

Do saturated fatty acids contain a carboxyl group?

No double bonds. A saturated fat has hydrocarbon chains that are close together. An unsaturated fat contains double bonds in the hydrocarbon chains which makes a kink in the chain. This makes them sit farther apart and thus more liquid than saturated hydrocarbons.


A Hydrocarbon in which all of the carbon atoms are joined to other carbon atoms by single covalent bonds are a saturated unsaturated aromatic or substituted hydrocarbon?

A hydrocarbon in which all carbon atoms are connected by single covalent bonds is a saturated hydrocarbon. This means that the carbon atoms are "saturated" with the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible. Unsaturated hydrocarbons have double or triple bonds between carbon atoms, while aromatic hydrocarbons contain special ring structures like benzene. Substituted hydrocarbons have functional groups attached to the hydrocarbon chain.
