Those fatty acids which have several double bonds are called unsaturated fatty acids, for e.g, palmitoleic acid is of 16 carbon and contain one double bond at 9th position, Linoleic acid is consist of 18 carbon and have two double bond at 9th and 12th position respectively. Another is Arachidonic acid which is 20 carbon long and contain 4 double bonds on 5,8,11,14 position Unsaturated fatty acids are liquid at room temprature, and are loosley packed as compare to saturated fatty acids.

The answer is Unsaturated.

∙ 14y agoUnsaturated fats contain C=C double bonds in their fatty acid tails. If more than one double bond exist, the fat is known as 'polyunsaturated.'

What type of bonds does carbon form?
Carbon will normally form four covalent bonds.These are normally one of several possible hybridizationsof the s and p orbitals.
What is the difference between a saturated and an unsaturated fatty acids?
Saturated fatty acid molecules have no carbon-carbon double bonds, and all of the remaining carbon bonds are shared by hydrogen atoms, except the one in the carboxyl group, at the beginning of the chain.Unsaturated fatty acid molecules also begin with the carboxyl group, but contain one or more carbon-carbon double bonds, and may contain one or more carbon atoms with a bonding electron that remains unassociated.
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.
What type of fatty acid has double bonds?
The two basic types of fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated. A fatty acid consists of a hydrocarbon chain and a carboxyl group: CH3(CH2)nCOOH Saturated fatty acids have only single bonds between the carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain ie the molecule is "saturated" with hydrogen atoms and no more can be added. Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds between the carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain. Fatty acids with a single double bond are called monounsaturated. Fatty acids with two or more double bonds are called polyunsaturated. See:http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/F/Fats.html
Why do saturated fatty acids have straight structure while unsaturated fatty acids have bent structure?
saturated fatty acids contain more carbon atoms Saturated fatty acids have single carbon-to-carbon bonds.
If a molecule contains two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms what can you conclude about the bond between the carbon atoms?
The bond between the carbon atoms is a double bond.
Why can carbon form such strong bonds between atoms?
Because carbon has a double bond gving it double the strength
What kinds of bonds can carbon atoms form?
A double carbon bond is a covalent bond. Also carbon atoms can form double bonds. Carbon shares electrons with other atoms.
A saturated fatty acid will have how man double bonds between various carbon atoms?
It will have one carbon double bond
What is the bond between carbon and hydrogen atoms?
The bond between carbon and hydrogen atoms is covalent.
What chemical contains a carbon double bond?
These are unsaturated organic compounds.
What are carbon compounds with a double bond called?
In chemistry, a double bond is a covalent bond between two atoms involving four bonding electrons as opposed to two in a single bond. Double bonds occur most commonly between two carbon atoms, for example in alkenes. Many double bonds exist between two different elements: for example, in a carbonyl group between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom.
What is oiefinic hydrocarbon?
Hydro carbon having a double bond between 2 carbon atoms are called olifins .
How many hydrogen atoms are in an unbranched alkene with one double bond and 5 carbon atoms?
There are 10 hydrogen atoms in an unbranched alkene with 1 double bond and 5 Carbon atoms
In a triple bond how many each pi and sigma bonds are there?
A single bond between two carbon atoms consists of a sigma bond. (There are 2 carbon atoms sharing 2 electrons. They are tied together by a sigma bond). A double bond between two carbon atoms consists of a sigma bond and a pi bond. (There are 2 carbon atoms sharing 4 electrons.) A triple bond between two carbon atoms consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds. (There are 2 carbon atoms sharing 6 electrons). apex one, two, one, one
Can a double bond exist between three atoms?
Yes - carbon dioxide is 3 atoms and is O=C=O.
How did the shape of the molecule model change when the second double bond was placed between the carbon atoms in linoleic acid?
When a double bond is placed between two carbon atoms in oelic acid, the shape of the molecule tends to bend. This is a similar occurrence of shape changing in general with fatty acids when a double bond forms
