Question

multiple choice question
if all carbons in a fatty acid chain are bound to two other carbon atoms and two hydrogen atoms, then the chain is considered to be
unsaturated
saturated

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In a saturated fatty - acid chain, each carbon atom is bonded to two other carbon atoms and two hydrogen atoms, with no double bonds between carbon atoms. In an unsaturated fatty - acid chain, there are one or more double bonds between carbon atoms, which reduces the number of hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbon atoms.

Answer:

B. saturated
