This type of lipid is referred to as an unsaturated lipid, ( or fat). Lipids are long chains of carbon carbon bonds. When a double bond forms they are not able to pack together as closely due to a kink in the structure.
A line structural formula of alkanes would have single lines, which represent single bonds, between the symbols of the carbon and hydrogen atoms, and would show the arrangement of the atoms in a molecule of the alkane. Refer to the related links for illustrations of the first two alkanes, methane, CH4, and ethane, C2H6.
Ethane is a saturated hydrocarbon with two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms, while ethylene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon with two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms, containing a double bond between the carbon atoms. Ethane is used as a fuel, while ethylene is a key chemical intermediate in the production of plastics.
double bond between carbon atoms.
A compound containing a carbon-carbon double bond is called an alkene. Alkenes are a type of unsaturated hydrocarbon where two carbon atoms are joined by a double bond. Examples include ethene (ethylene) and propene (propylene).
The hydrocarbon series that contains a double covalent bond between carbon atoms is the alkene series. Alkenes have the general formula CnH2n and are characterized by the presence of at least one double bond between carbon atoms in the molecule.
Methane CH4-----------------------Methane is an alkane, which is any organic compound containing single bonds with only hydrogen and carbon. Ethane (C2H6) & propane (C3H8) are a couple more examples of alkanes.
A line structural formula of alkanes would have single lines, which represent single bonds, between the symbols of the carbon and hydrogen atoms, and would show the arrangement of the atoms in a molecule of the alkane.

Because carbon has a double bond gving it double the strength
Ethane is a saturated hydrocarbon with two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms, while ethylene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon with two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms, containing a double bond between the carbon atoms. Ethane is used as a fuel, while ethylene is a key chemical intermediate in the production of plastics.

It will have one carbon double bond
A butylene is any of three isomeric aliphatic alkenes containing four carbon atoms and one double bond.
The hydrocarbon series that contains a double covalent bond between carbon atoms is the alkene series. Alkenes have the general formula CnH2n and are characterized by the presence of at least one double bond between carbon atoms in the molecule.
Pentyne has five carbon atoms. It is an alkyne, which is characterized by the presence of a triple bond between carbon atoms. The term "pentyne" typically refers to two isomers: 1-pentyne and 2-pentyne, both containing the same number of carbon atoms.
Its carbon atoms have no double bonds between them.
no, single, double, and triple are allowed. That is what makes organic chemistry so flexible.
