Unlike unsaturated fatty acids, which contain double carbon bonds, saturated fatty acids have enough hydrogen bonded to their carbon atoms so that they can only have single bonds.

Does covalent bonding produce ions?

No, covalent bonding does not produce ions. It involves the sharing of electrons between atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a full outer shell.


The bonding of unit molecules to produce a polysaccharide is called?

The bonding of unit molecules to produce a polysaccharide is called polymerization. During this process, monosaccharide units are joined together through glycosidic bonds to form complex carbohydrates like starch, cellulose, or glycogen.


How much calcium chloride should be added to a liter of water to produce a saturated solution?

This is from the website linked to the left of this answer under Web Links:Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20°C: 74.5Therefore, in 1 liter, 745.0 grams of CaCl2 will dissolve to make a saturated solution.


Why non bonding orbitals do not participate in LCAO?

The question does not make sense. LCAO takes a linear combination of atomic orbitals from the atoms, some orbitals are not energetically favourable to produce bonds (*other exclusions are symmetry) and these do not form bonding orbitals.


Determine the total mass of 1-pentanol that will dissolve in 110 grams of water to produce a saturated solution?

To determine the total mass of 1-pentanol that will dissolve in 110 grams of water to produce a saturated solution, you would need to know the solubility of 1-pentanol in water at a specific temperature. Once you have that information, you can calculate the total mass of 1-pentanol that will dissolve by adding the mass of the water to the mass of the 1-pentanol that can dissolve in it to form a saturated solution.

Why is the bonding in Oxygen molecules called pure covalent and the bonding in CO called polar covalent?

"Pure Covalent" is a synonym for "nonpolar covalent bonding". That means that each atom pulls equally on the electrons and doesn't produce a permanent dipole moment.

How do you produce a saturated solution?

A saturated solution is one in which the no more solute can be dissolved in the solution and then becomes precipitate. Imagine a glass of water and some sugar. You dissolve the sugar in the water and add more sugar until not one grain more will dissolve--the solution is now "saturated" with sugar.
