Because the unsaturated fats contains double bonds between some of the carbons, saturated fats only contain single bonds between all of the carbons. The double bonding gives the molecules a different goemetry.

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.
One simple test to distinguish between saturated and unsaturated compounds is the bromine water test. Saturated compounds do not react with bromine water (no color change), whereas unsaturated compounds will decolorize the bromine water due to addition of bromine across the double bond in the unsaturated compound.
Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds between carbon atoms and unsaturated.
Unsaturated fats have double or triple carbon bonds.
Saturated hydrocarbon does not decolourise bromine water while unsaturated hydrocarbon decolourize it.
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...
Saturated molecules have single bonds between carbon atoms and are saturated with hydrogen atoms. They are typically solid at room temperature and are less reactive. Unsaturated molecules have at least one double or triple bond between carbon atoms, leading to fewer hydrogen atoms. They are often liquid at room temperature and are more reactive.
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.
Saturated molecules have only single bonds between carbon atoms. Based on the images provided, the molecules that are saturated are propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10), as they contain only single bonds._ethane and propene have double bonds and are unsaturated.

An unsaturated solution has excess solvent and can still dissolve more solute.A saturated solution cannot dissolve any more solute, it will simply stay separate.
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.
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.
Saturated means it can't hold any more hydrogen's. Unsaturated means it has some double bonds that can open up. For example: H H H H H H l l l l l l H-C-C-C-C-C-C-H is saturated l l l l l l H H H H H H H H H H H l l l l l H-C-C=C-C-C-C-H is unsaturated. It has the double bond l l l l l H H H H H
Unsaturated fatty acids have double bond or triple bonds, whereas saturated fatty acids do not.
Oils are predominately unsaturated. They contain a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fats. They typically contain between 50% and 95% unsaturated fats .
