unsaturated are oils that have double bonds in their structure because there is not enough hydrogen atoms to bond with the carbon atoms. In such case, carbon atoms bond to each others to form double or triple bonds. adding iodine, saturates the oil as iodine atoms bond to carbon atoms as if they were hydrogen atoms.

This is an answer to the question that should read: How does iodine affect unsaturated fats?

What is the effect of iodine on saturated fats?

Iodine can be used to detect the presence of unsaturation in fats. When added to a sample of saturated fat, there will be no change in color as iodine does not react with the double bonds present in unsaturated fats.

What is true of saturated fat?

True of saturated fat is that, it has not a single set of double bond between two near by carbon atoms.


What are the two categories of these are saturated and unsaturated?

Fat can be either saturated or unsaturated. It can not be both at the same time. If there is one or more double bonds between carbon atoms, the fat become unsaturated. If all the bonds between carbon atoms are single bonds, the fat becomes saturated.


What determines whether a fat is saturated or unsaturated?

The chemical structure of a fat determines whether it is saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fats have single bonds between carbon atoms, while unsaturated fats have at least one double bond between carbon atoms.


What fat molecule has the most H atoms?

The fat molecule that has the most H, or hydrogen, atoms is the saturated fat molecule. This is because this particular molecule has no double bonds in its structure.


What are unsaturated fats and saturated fats?

You have one or more double bonds between carbon atoms in unsaturated fat molecules. You have no such double bonds in the structure of saturated fat molecules. You have all the single bonds between the carbon atoms.

How can you tell if fat is saturated?

Saturated fats have no double bonds in their chemical structure. They are “saturated” with hydrogen atoms. Because of their chemical structure, they have a solid consistency at room temperature.
