The terms saturated and unsaturated or typically used for hydrocarbons -- long chains of carbon atoms. A chain is saturated when there are no double bonds between any carbon atoms. The term unsaturated fat is based on this very idea.
Cyclohexene is an unsaturated molecule because contain a double bond and has a ring structure.
The type of C-C bonds in the molecule
Proteins are neither saturated nor unsaturated.
Because it contains carbon (yes this true). BUT it isn't why they're classed as saturated or un-saturated. If a hydrocarbon is saturated it is only a single bonded molecule, a un-saturated molecule is either a double and triple bonded molecule.
the difference is in the backbone... if the backbone is unsaturated then it is an unsaturated polyester, if the backbone is saturated then it is a saturated polyester...
Not all lipids are saturated. Unsaturated lipids come in liquid form and are not from animals. Saturated lipids are in solid form and do usually come from organisms other than plants such as animals.
A triglyceride molecule has 3 fatty acid tails attached to a glycerol backbone, and these fatty acid tails can be either saturated or unsaturated depending on the presence of double bonds in the hydrocarbon chain.
To determine if the air in the room is saturated or unsaturated, you would need to measure the humidity level. If the humidity level is at 100%, then the air is saturated. If it is below 100%, then the air is unsaturated.
Lipids that are saturated do not have double bonded hydrogen atoms to the carbon skeleton of the molecule. Instead, the molecule has all of its available spaces filled with hydrogen atoms that are bonded to each open carbon atom of the molecule. To make it simple, saturated lipids are saturated with hydrogen.
A graph can illustrate what solution is saturated and unsaturated. If the point is on the line, then the solution is saturated, while if is below the line, the solution is unsaturated.
it is 86% unsaturated
The basis for its saturation is a hydrocarbon with the general formula:- CnH2n+2 If a compound does not satisfy this, then it is unsaturated. Thus here 'n' = 12 Thus with 12 Carbon atoms present in the molecule, to be saturated, would need 26 Hydrogen atoms (C12H26). C12H22 is therefore unsaturated and will have 4 Carbon to Carbon double bonds in it.
