Question
which fat is most likely a solid at room temperature? one that is saturated one that is unsaturated one with double bonds one that contains no hydrogen
Brief Explanations
Saturated fats have straight - chain fatty acids that can pack closely together, resulting in higher melting points and being solid at room temperature. Unsaturated fats with double bonds have kinks in their chains which prevent close packing, making them liquid at room temperature. Fats must contain hydrogen as part of their structure.
