Describe the structures of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids
What will be an ideal response?
All fatty acids consist of a hydrocarbon chain and a carboxyl group. In saturated fatty acids, each carbon atom in the hydrocarbon chain has four single covalent bonds that bind the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible. In unsaturated fatty acids, one or more of the carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain has double covalent bonds, so fewer hydrogen atoms are bonded.
