What structural feature is common to all geometric isomers?

Geometric isomers have different spatial arrangements around a double bond or a ring, leading to differences in their physical and chemical properties. This structural feature causes geometric isomers to have different geometries or shapes despite having the same molecular formula.

Distinguish between a saturated and an unsaturated fat and list some unique emergent properties that are a consequence of these structural differences?

A fat is saturated when all of the carbon atoms in the fatty acid chains are bonded to at least two hydrogens. A fat is unsaturated when there is at least one double bond between carbons in the fatty acid chains, and it is polyunsaturated when there are multiple double bonds. The hydrocarbon chains of polyunsaturated fats bend at the places where there are double bonds and this causes them to have low melting points - the fat molecules do not align close together.

Why unsaturated compounds decolourises bromine water?

Unsaturated compounds decolorize bromine water because the double bonds in the unsaturated compounds react with bromine molecules, breaking the pi bond and forming a colorless compound. This reaction causes the bromine color to fade, indicating the presence of unsaturation in the compound.


What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have a different shape than an saturated fatty acid?

The double chain in the unsaturated fatty acid cause it to bent; unlike saturated fatty acid which has no double bond, is straight
