There is only single bonds between the carbon. So it is saturated chain.
The type of C-C bonds in the molecule
The chemical structure of a saturated fat is fully saturated with hydrogen atoms, and does not contain double bonds between carbon atoms. Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, are found foods such as nuts, avocados, and olives. They are liquid at room temperature and differ from saturated fats in that their chemical structure contains double bonds.
A triglyceride contains three fatty acids that are composed of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. In a single free fatty acid if there is a hydrogen missing from the carbon chain creating a double bond then it is considered to be unsaturated. Adversely, saturated fat contains no missing hydrogen's. Unsaturated=Okay, Saturated=BAD.
Saturated means it can't hold any more hydrogen's. Unsaturated means it has some double bonds that can open up. For example: H H H H H H l l l l l l H-C-C-C-C-C-C-H is saturated l l l l l l H H H H H H H H H H H l l l l l H-C-C=C-C-C-C-H is unsaturated. It has the double bond l l l l l H H H H H
Oh, dude, acetic acid is unsaturated because it contains a double bond between carbon and oxygen in the carboxyl group. It's like a relationship status on Facebook - not fully saturated with hydrogen atoms. So yeah, that double bond is the reason acetic acid is living that unsaturated life.
Unsaturated fats contain more double bonds in their carbon chain compared to saturated fats. These double bonds create kinks in the chain, preventing them from packing tightly together, which is why unsaturated fats are typically liquid at room temperature.
Unsaturated fats have double or triple carbon bonds.
saturated fatty acids contain more carbon atoms Saturated fatty acids have single carbon-to-carbon bonds.

c=c bond is present in saturated and c-c bond is present in unsaturated

The unsaturated ones are the ones with one or more double bonds in the carbon chain, by which they are lacking 2 H atoms per double bond as compared with the saturated fatty acid. The unsaturated ones are in general more 'healthy' with respect to possible cholesterol build up in blood vessels (cardial risks)
As ethene contains double bond it is considered as unsaturated hydrocarbon. Note-hydrocarbon is said to saturated when it contain C-C single bond and hydrocarbon is said to unsaturated when it has carbon carbon double or triple bonds
Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons because they contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond, which results in the molecule having fewer hydrogen atoms compared to a saturated hydrocarbon with the same number of carbons.
