What are fats containing two or more double bonds between carbon atoms?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
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.

∙ 13y agoA fatty acid chain with double bonds is called an unsaturated lipid. The double bonds between carbon atoms leaves a bond for only one more hydrogen instead of two. Because there are less hydrogens bonded to the chain, it is called unsaturated (with respect to hydrogen).

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.
What is the structure of alkanes alkenes alkynes?
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.
Can carbon atoms only form a single bond between other carbon atoms?
no, single, double, and triple are allowed. That is what makes organic chemistry so flexible.
What is the difference between a saturaded and unsaturaded fatty acid?
The difference between a saturated and unsaturated fatty acid are the number of hydrogen atoms and double carbon bonds in the fatty acid chain. A saturated fatty acid has no carbon double bonds, two hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom along the chain and three for the carbon atom at each end. In an unsaturated fatty acid chain some of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by a double bond between neighboring carbon atoms. Mon-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids differ in the number of double carbon bonds in the chain, and thus the total number of hydrogen atoms.
What is an aldotetrose?
An aldotetrose is an aldose containing four carbon atoms.

Why can carbon form such strong bonds between atoms?
Because carbon has a double bond gving it double the strength
A saturated fatty acid will have how man double bonds between various carbon atoms?
It will have one carbon double bond
A compound containing only carbon and hydrogen and which has no double bonds between atoms is classified as an?
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.
What is a butylene?
A butylene is any of three isomeric aliphatic alkenes containing four carbon atoms and one double bond.
Can carbon atoms only form a single bond between other carbon atoms?
no, single, double, and triple are allowed. That is what makes organic chemistry so flexible.
What is a distinguishing characteristic of a fatty acid?
Its carbon atoms have no double bonds between them.
What is oiefinic hydrocarbon?
Hydro carbon having a double bond between 2 carbon atoms are called olifins .
What bonds can a carbon atom make?
Covalent bonds between carbon atoms; simple, double or triple.
Are fatty acids with double bonds saturated or not?
Fatty acids containing double bonds are unsaturated fatty acids as they still contain sp2 carbon atoms within them.
What is the difference between a saturaded and unsaturaded fatty acid?
The difference between a saturated and unsaturated fatty acid are the number of hydrogen atoms and double carbon bonds in the fatty acid chain. A saturated fatty acid has no carbon double bonds, two hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom along the chain and three for the carbon atom at each end. In an unsaturated fatty acid chain some of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by a double bond between neighboring carbon atoms. Mon-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids differ in the number of double carbon bonds in the chain, and thus the total number of hydrogen atoms.
