Question

what factor determines how much linoleic acid can twist and bend its shape?
a. the weight of the molecule
b. the length of the molecule
c. the number of carbon - carbon double bonds
d. the number of carbon - hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

Carbon - carbon double bonds in linoleic acid are responsible for its ability to twist and bend. Double bonds create kinks and restrict rotation in the molecule, influencing its shape - changing capacity. The number of these double bonds determines how much the molecule can twist and bend.

Answer:

C. The number of carbon - carbon double bonds
