Unsaturated fats have double - bonds in their carbon - chain structure, which means they have fewer hydrogen atoms compared to saturated fats that have only single bonds and the maximum number of hydrogen atoms. Olive oil is unsaturated, butter is saturated, and unsaturated fats have kinked fatty - acid tails while saturated fats have straight ones.
