What is saturated polymer?
The term saturated means or referred to a compound in which all carbons are bonds in a single bonds and every one of the carbon atoms are bonded to a different atoms.
Alkenes are unsaturated why?
Alkenes are considered unsaturated because of the presence of a double bond between two or more carbons. A hydrocarbon is only saturated when there are only single bonded carbons present (Alkanes).
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 )
Why is C2H4 unsaturated?
Because it contains carbon (yes this true). BUT it isn't why they're classed as saturated or un-saturated. If a hydrocarbon is saturated it is only a single bonded molecule, a un-saturated molecule is either a double and triple bonded molecule.
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.
Are saturated fatty acids the principal molecules in lard and butter?
Yes, a long chains of single bonded carbons the are saturated with a full complement of hydrogens.

How does butter work?
Butter is composed of fatty acids and long hydrocarbon chains; these are 'saturated', meaning there are no double bonds in the chains (so end carbons have 3 hydrogen, internal carbons have 2 hydrogen bonded). When the temperature rises, these bonds more easily break (than compared to unsaturated fats, with double bonded chains) and so what is solid at room temperature or a bit cooler will melt at even just a slightly higher temperature. When you see something in the ingredients using the term 'hydrogenated', that means it has (partially) become saturated.
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.
Alkenes are unsaturated why?
Alkenes are considered unsaturated because of the presence of a double bond between two or more carbons. A hydrocarbon is only saturated when there are only single bonded carbons present (Alkanes).
On monosaccharides the functional group that is found bonded to all of the carbons on the chain except one is called Hydroxyl group Carbonyl group Carboxyl group or Phosphate group?
A monosaccharide is composed of a chain of carbons all with hydroxyl groups, plus one carbonyl such as a ketone or an aldehyde.

What kind of fat contains fewer than the maximum number of hydrogen atoms in one or more of its fatty acid chains?
An unsaturated fat because some of the carbons along it's length are double bonded and kinked.
What are tertiary carbons?
A secondary carbon is a carbon atom that is singly bonded to two other carbon atoms.
What fatty acids do not have double bonds beween carbons?
If there are no double bonds, then carbon will take up as many hydrogens as it can, two (three on the ends). Because there are more hydrogens bonded, they are referred to as "saturated" lipids. Unsaturated lipids have double bonds between the carbons and hydrogens. When there is a double bond, one carbon only bonds with one hydrogen - "unsaturated" lipids. The double bonds cause "kinks" in the fatty acid tails, so it is more difficult to "pack" them together. For this reason, they do not solidify at room temperature. However, saturated lipids may solidify at room temperature -- this is how you distinguish between saturated and unsaturated lipids by sight. Examples of saturated lipids (having no double bonds between carbons and hydrogens) are animal fats. "Saturated fats" is a synonym for animal fat on nutritional labels.
