Fats composed of fatty acids that have double bonds in the fatty acids and have fewer than the maximim number of hydrogen atoms are?
unsaturated
Which type of fatty acids has two or more carbon double bonds?
Fatty acids that contain carbon atoms linked by double or triple bonds are unsaturated. They do not have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible.
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.
Do the atoms have the same rotational ability or mobility in the unsaturated fatty acid as they had in the saturated fatty acid?
Not all of the atoms. The carbon atoms connected by a double bond in an unsaturated fatty acid have less rotational mobility than the carbon atoms connected by a single bond in a saturated fatty acid.
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have double bonds in their long carbon chains.

Are fatty acids saturated or unsaturated?
Fatty acids can be either saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between carbon atoms, while unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds.
Difference between a saturated fatty acid and an unsaturated fatty acid?
Fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. A saturated fatty acid contains the maximum amount of hydrogen atoms. Saturated fatty acids are long-chain carboxylic acids that generally have between 12 and 24 carbon atoms and have no double bonds. They are saturated with hydrogen because saturated fatty acids have only single bonds, each carbon atom within the chain has 2 hydrogen atoms. Unsaturated fatty acids do not contain the maximum amount of hydrogen atoms, therefore two or more carbon atoms are attached with a double bond. Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds between carbon atoms.
How is a saturated fatty acid different from an unsaturated fatty acid?
A saturated fatty acid has all of its carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms, while an unsaturated fatty acid has at least one double bond between carbon atoms, causing it to have fewer hydrogen atoms. This difference affects the physical properties and health implications of the two types of fatty acids.
In unsaturated fats the fatty acid chain is missing some atoms of?
In unsaturated fats, the fatty acid chain is missing some hydrogen atoms, causing double bonds to form between carbon atoms. This results in less saturated fatty acids, which have a lower melting point and are typically liquid at room temperature.
A saturated fatty has has more or less hydrogen?
Yes, fatty acids are considered saturated when they have all the hydrogen atoms it can hold.
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 type of fatty acid has double bonds?
The two basic types of fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated. A fatty acid consists of a hydrocarbon chain and a carboxyl group: CH3(CH2)nCOOH Saturated fatty acids have only single bonds between the carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain ie the molecule is "saturated" with hydrogen atoms and no more can be added. Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds between the carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain. Fatty acids with a single double bond are called monounsaturated. Fatty acids with two or more double bonds are called polyunsaturated. See:http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/F/Fats.html
Do saturated fatty acids have a higher ratio of hydrogen to carbon than do unsaturated fatty acids?
Saturated means that a chemical compound has as many Hydrogens on each Carbon that "it can handle". Unsaturated means that there are places containing double bonds, triple bonds, etc., between the carbons resulting in the compound having less Hydrogens as it could have maximally. Usually all fatty acids have 1 or 2 degrees of unsaturation in their long carbon tails, usually in the form of double bonds.
Fatty acid contains 3 double covalent bonds in tis carbon chain is said to be?
Unsaturated. This means that the carbon chain has room for more hydrogen atoms to bond, as opposed to saturated fatty acids which have all their available carbon bonds filled with hydrogen atoms.
